data connection to fox pro file

Hi,
I have to connect to a foxpro file. What I've attempted thus far is set up a
System DSN. It's pathed to the .dbf file, and I selected the Free Table
Directory option under Database Type. In RS, I choose ODBC driver for my
Provider and for Connection, I choose the DSN I set up. When I try to choose
the Initial catalog, I get an error. The first says The Parameter is
Incorrect and the second says Login failed. Catalog Info cannot be retrieved.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!Try specifying NT user credentials in report data source (or in Report
Manager/Report properties/Datasources if report is already published)

Try with leaving the Catalog, UserName and Password blank.
Have you considered using the FoxPro and Visual FoxPro OLE DB data provider?
It's downloadable from msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/updates .
