Connection from VB 2005 to Foxpro database

Hello,,, I'm Don

I'm currently working on a system to track contacts for a railroad in a nearby town. I am using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server Express.
The client has purchased a package developed in Foxpro, and I am presented with the challenge of onterfacing the system with the package they have purchased.
My question is, what is the best way to connect to the Foxpro database, so I can transfer data between the applications.
I am trying to set up a new temporary project to connect to the foxpro database, and trying to "Add a connection". I don't see an Ole DB Providor that referencecs Foxpro specifically, so I'm wondering which providor I should use. Should I use "Microsoft OLE DB Simple Providor"?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have a great day

Don
