Anyone know anything about FoxPro 2.0 ?

How hard would it be to convert a FP 2.0 database to Access?

I've got a potential customer with a FP 2.0 app that needs some serious upgrading. It's likely that the app will be rebuilt from scratch in VB.Net. My question is how to get the data into an Access db?
Is there a way to import it?
How about using the ODBC driver and writing a simple app to query the FP database / datafiles and insert it into an Access DB?

Anyone done this kind of conversion before?
 
i work with foxpro at my job and the way i would think to do it with such an old version of fp would be for them to export it to a either comma delimited or tab delimted text file, give you the structure and have you import the data into an access database. i only work with access on a limited basis since we run a foxpro based operation but you may want to check whether access 2000 and above can straight import from .dbf format. either that or just do the things i mentioned above. good luck!
