Try using ODBC to access the data using remote views. I may not have all the correct steps, but it would be something like this...
1) Go to the ODBC setup from START-SETTINGS-CONTROL PANEL
2) Create a System DSN using the MS VFP Driver and designate the free table as your source.
3) Add a connection to your app's DBC to target the new ODBC data source.
4) Create the remote view.
