I have programs and tables made in foxpro 2.6 and I need to access those tables thru vb6. I there a direct way or do i have to convert them to MSaccess. If I do  have to. Can anyone tell me how.
 
There are a few ways open to you<br><br>1. Set up an ODBC Datasource pointing at the fox pro tables then access the tables using your choice of database access methodology i.e either ADO, DAO or RDO <br><br>2. Use the foxpro OLEDB provider and access the tables directly through ADO <br><br>I would recommend using the second method <br><br>If your want samples of either of these then I'll be happy to mail you some<br><br><br>hope this helps <br><br>
 
Thanks Vince. I would appreciate it very much If you'll send me samples of the two methods you just mentioned. you can send it to this address <A HREF="mailto:monchet@auf.edu.ph">monchet@auf.edu.ph</A><br>Thanks again.
 
I am using ADO to access FPW2.6 DBFs (30,000 records) it is taking up to 5 minutes to 'open' them. Is this this 'normal', if not any suggestions how to make it quicker???


Cheers
