Access and FoxPro were two different dbases.

Basically, MSFT purchased FoxPro for the Rushmore technology to
incorporate it into Access.

Original plan was to have both, then they cancel FoxPro, then brought it
back.

My team lost a lot of money as an early developer using MSFT's FoxPro.
Bad times...
