Scott,

You can access DBF data through ODBC. If you have the Beta 1 of VFP7, it comes with a VFP OLEDB provider which is better.

Nothing wrong with VB as UI but if you have a FoxPro app and FP data, why not use the code (at least some of it if you migrate from FPD/FPW) and the direct access and speed that VFP affords?
