Kent, I am not sure what you mean. I am feeling about in the dark on this subject.
Do you have an example? Among my visual foxpro database files I have a file called tng.dbc. When I acces the database files through excel, I select the tng.dbc before I can see the fields in the databases. Is this what I need to log onto with python first before I access the database file?

Have you configured an ODBC data source for the database you are trying to access? I don't remember how to do this but I know it was a necessary step for accessing MS-Access databases from ODBC.
