You need ODBC. Check the FAQ for that. To enter automatically into the Informix database via MS Access you simply link from MS Access to a table in your Informix database and use that (no local MS Access table). You probably need a similar arrangement with FoxPro. I don't know that product in detail. Be aware of the security risks involved in that anyone can do anything in your database via MS Access as soon as you open up for updates.
