Path: String;
The Path property determines the path to database or directory with free Visual Foxpro tables.
Executing the example requires that the repository contains an ETL task with the ETL identifier and the Visual Foxpro Data.dbc database in the root of the C disk. There is the Table_1 table in the database.

// Save ETL task

End Sub UserProc;
After executing the example the Visual Foxpro object is created in the ETL task. This data provider exports data to the Foxpro table named Data.
