It'd be nice to know the rest of the message, but basically it comes
down to ASP not being able to access what you told it to. See:

Most likely it's permissions. The IUSR account on your web server
needs access to the Foxpro database. Remember the IUSR account is
local, so you'll need to deal with granting access for a non-domain
account on a server.
