Easiest is probably using the ADO data control...
1. In the project menu select Components...in the control tab select Microsoft ADO 6.0...press Ok
2. Put the control on the form. Click on the control and right click and select properties.
3. From here you can follow the steps to create a DSN and then establish a connection string using the dsn.
Make sure you select the Visual FoxPro Driver ODBC driver and not the Foxpro. Most of the process is dialog... wizard.... type so you should have little problems finishing.
After all the dialogs you can set the recordsource info and you will then be able to bind any controls.
A really great source for this is Lesson 24 in Visual Basic Step By Step.
