Can you use the server explorer to connect to the VFP database? I noticed that you had a different connection string. You might want to try changing the string to match:

"Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;Data Source=\\\\HOMESVR\\SRV-F\\PRO65\\PRODATA.DBC;Mode=Share Deny" +
" None;Extended Properties=\"\";User ID=\"\";Password=\"\";Mask Password=False;Cache Au" +
"thentication=False;Encrypt Password=False;Collating Sequence=MACHINE;DSN=\"\"";
