See:
http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~VFP_OleDB_Provider

under the section: How do I get the Connection String needed to use OleDB?
  • Create a dummy empty file
    Using something like Notepad
    Or on the desktop with New / Text File
  • Rename the file, changing it's extension to ".UDL"
  • Double-click on this new file
  • Fill in the OleDB dialog that appears
  • Select the Provider (you should see Microsoft OLEDB Provider for VisualFoxPro, among others)
  • Fill in the information in Connection
  • Test the connection
  • Close and save
  • Open the newly created UDL file and you will see the connection string that you can cut and paste into your programs
