Interface b/w Access and Caseware (Foxpro)

I have been asked if it's possible to build an interface between a client database in Caseware (an accounting application that uses Foxpro) and Access. Specifically, when a change is made to the Caseware db, it would update the Access db, which is used to manage workflows, send out form letters, etc.

Is this possible? What would it require?

Any assistance greatly appreciated!

If you have an ODBC driver for FoxPRO you can write an application (or simply an Access macro) that keeps aligned the two dbs.

Use ODBC

If it uses FoxPro, then there will be .dbfs around. If they are and you can noodle out how the data relations work you can use Access to open and read them for reporting puroses. Although if it's Visual FoxPro, I have no idea. Never learned how to use it.

Good luck!
