The idea is to find the proper connection string. Googling a bit may help.
I found a few here:
http://www.simongibson.com/intranet/adoodbc/[^]
The question is: connect to what? Excel? MS SQL? Access?
MS SQL has a native provider for ADO, you don't need ODBC for that one.
If you want to connect to FOXPRO, look here: http://www.connectionstrings.com/visual-foxpro[^]
In general, the site http://www.connectionstrings.com[^] has lot of examples (some of them are .NET oriented).

Another page you should read: How Do I Use the Connection Object in ADO?[^]

Hope this helps,
Pablo.
