Visual FoxPro DB don't have program need to convert to something else

Question

I have inherited a database that was created in Visual FoxPro. I don't have that program. Currently I have Access 2007. I've been trying to get External Data using an VFPOLEDB file that I got from the Microsoft website. When I try to use it with Microsoft Query its not listed. I used the Setup Installer Package. Do I need to put it somewhere special? Its in the common files\system\ole DB folder. Along with all of the other .dll files.

I'm at my wits end. Keep in mind I don't have the VFP program. If this is why I'm failing please yell at me. Then I'll know all is lost and I can just quit my job and become a hobo.

Try using the ODBC driver instead see:
