Not sure what you are asking here.

If you are saying that you want to share data with several database software
packages, you will probably need to store it in an SQL server or some other
fairly generic back-end that can be accessed by different types of front-end
software.

In other words, store your data on a server, and allow your various
front-end applications to access that data.

Without a clearer question, I'm not sure you will get much more of a
detailed answer.

It is possible to use File... Get External Data... Link to connect an
Access database to FoxPro tables, at least in most cases. This would
allow you to store your data in the DOS files and at least view it in
Access (you may not be able to update it).

This can be difficult, however: DOS FoxPro (not even Visual FoxPro!?)
is VERY antiquated software, and it can be difficult to interface it
with more modern programs. Could you consider importing the data into
Access and creating a new application to do the job that your FoxPro
software is now doing?
