Hi Michael,

You need to use the OLE DB provider that ships with VFP 7.0. However, VFP 8.0 has an even later version of the provider that offers better .NET support. To see an example of how to use the provider with VFP, refer to the following article that I wrote. The first example has sample code that demonstrates using the provider.

The article shows the code in C# but you could convert it or install the VB.NET source from the following link:
