Chuck,
Let's see if we can find the banana :)
Try the following:

oConnection = CreateObject("adodb.connection")
lcConnectionString = "Driver=Microsoft Visual Foxpro Driver; " +;
                     "UID=;"+;
                     "SourceType=DBC;"+;
                     "SourceDB=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MSDN98\98VS\1033\Samples\VFP98\data\TestData.dbc"
oConnection.open(lcConnectionString)
oRecordSet = CreateObject("adodb.recordset")
oRecordSet.Open("SELECT * FROM customer", oConnection) &&
?oRecordSet.fields(1).value && Alfred's Futterkiste

Does this work for you?
HTH
