For VFP, I don't know the parameters. For Access, it will be like this:

strAttributes = "Database=" & .ConDSN & vbCr & _
                        "DBQ=" & .ConFile & vbCr & _
                        "Description=Base de données pour " & .ConDSN & vbCr & _
                        "FIL=MS Access;" & vbCr & _
                        "UID=" & .ConUID & vbCr & _
                        "PWD=" & .ConPWD
