Can i import tables from a Fox Pro Database?

Hi;
At the end of each month,we need to get some table from an older Fox Pro
program(.dbf file) which works on DOS not Windows:
1-Can i import these tables to my mdb file?
2-If it is possible programmatically,what would be the 2nd argument of
DoCmd.TransferDatabase ("Database type"),for Fox Pro Databases?

It would be one of the Dbase file types, depending on the version of Foxpro.
I would start with Dbase IV and experiment until it works.

And if finally i succeded with for example dBase IV and then could do this
programmatically,what i have to write as the Database name constant for
"Database Type" argument of the DoCmd.TransferDatabase,when i wanna do this
thru code?
Thank you for your attention.

Dear Clatuu;
After all,i faced to another question.
Do i have to install Fox Pro on the machine im working on before importing
data ?(i mean the machine that i am importing data from a .dbf file to a
..mdb).
I hope there is no need to have it .Because,im not sure that FoxPro is
installable on windows.Can it be installed on Windows?
Thanks a lot for your time and help.
