Hello friends, 

   I was wondering if I could import data from a Foxpro (not Visual Foxpro) .dbf file into cells of an InDesign table using a VB script.  Furthurmore, is it possible to have a live connection?  Meaning if I had both Foxpro and InDesign open simultaneously and make a change in the data of one, it would update in real time in the other?  If not in Foxpro, perhaps these same issues in Access? 

I'm a beginner and would appreciate any help.  Thank you, 
Jae
