Here is the example how I connect Goldmine server as linked server in MyServer with
name ServerGoldMine. In this case I am using sql server as linked server, but similarly you should be able to do with foxpro. In your case in General tab Server Type use other datasource and select appropriate data source.

Go To Enterprise Manager

General --> DataSource --> GOLDMINESRV [ name of server you wish to link]
Security --> Linked Server --> 'ServerGoldMine' [give name to linked server]
--> Right Click to Go to Propertie
--> Security tab
Choice Be Made using this Security Context
Login : sameertest
Pw : sameertest
--> Server Option Tab
Choose Data Access
RPC
RPC OUT ----- this selection is req. to run sp from remote server
Use Remote Collation
Connection Timeout 0
Query Timeout 0

Note : Create Sql Server Account sameertest in GoldMine
Give Server Role of Security Administrator
[without this other query may work but Backup/Restore fails without this right]
Give Owner Access to the Databases in Goldmine to be queried

try this :

Provider name = Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual Fox Pro
<Product name leave blank>
Data source = \\nt_serv\Dir1\sa
<Provider string leave blank>
<Location leave blank>
<Catalog leave blank>

you can download the OLE DB Provider from
