I am very new to foxpro file extraction programming using vb.net
plz help for following scenario.

I have a foxpro files of file extension

1) FOXUSER.DBF: which contains fields such as Type,Id,Name,Readonly,CkVal,
Data,Updated.

2) FOXUSER.FPT:fields same as above

3) Data_Needed.DBF :Contains fields such as
EmployeeID,EmployeeName,EmpolyeeAddress

I have created a function for selecting data from the foxpro file Data_Needed.DBF

But it gives error

"The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'Data_Needed'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly."

I have troubleshooted a lot but no use although the files are present there in the location

my function is as below

==========================================
connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=D:\DATA Needed\Data_Needed;Extended Properties=dBase III"

Dim dBaseConnection As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(connectionString)

dBaseConnection.Open()

Dim dBaseCommand As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM Data_Needed", dBaseConnection)

Dim dBaseDataReader As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataReader = dBaseCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.SequentialAccess)

While dBaseDataReader.Read

ComboBox1.Items.Add("" & dBaseDataReader("EmployeeName") & "")

End While

dBaseConnection.Close()


==========================================================


Please Help me finding a solution

Thanks in Advance for all

I have never dealt with a DBF file, but you might try this:
connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=D:\DATA Needed\Data_Needed.DBF;Extended Properties=dBase III"
