    My customer has a legacy application, using Visal FoxPro (damn old s**t) databases.
    On server side (somewhere a remote file share, we have a share access only) there is Database folder with bunch of .DBF, .CDX and couple of .FPT files.
    Client side is an app that connects to a file share from different region, user enters some password and gets access to the features available for his role.
    No database administrator exists anymore.

    I need to export data from that database to Excel.
    I am able to copy all the file share contents to my laptop.
    Now I need to access data.
    Installed ODBC and OLE DB providers, but can't connect to file DataSource.
    Need username and password (but have only a password, unique for each user).
    Give me a hint please.
