>From VB I need to be able to manipulate a FoxPro table. Can someone give me the exact steps to connect to a Fox data source?

Using ADO, you can open a VFP free table with this code:

Dim conADO As ADODB.Connection
Dim rsVFP As ADODB.Recordset
strCon = "Driver={Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver};" & _
         "SourceType=DBF;" & _
         "SourceDB=D:\Temp\;" & _
         "Exclusive=No;"
                 
Set conADO = New ADODB.Connection
conADO.Open strCon
Set rsVFP = New ADODB.Recordset
rsVFP.Open "Select * From myDBF", conADO
.. etc.

Again, this is for a VFP free table directory (d:\Temp\). The connection string for a VFP DBC is slightly different.

With VFP7 there is an OLEDB provider also. This example uses the VFP ODBC driver.
