[AccessD] Reading FoxPro Tables

No - it's going to be an app external to a proprietary system from which 
they want to pull data periodically to do some business analysis and other 
reporting.

Turns out I can connect directly to the .dbf tables if I use Access 97. 
2000 won't for some reason.

So I'm past the hump for Monday's meeting with the client.  But I think I'll 
have to get it working in 2000 pretty quickly.
