Accessing MAS90 Data through VFP

[rkm500]

Hello All,
If any one is using MAS90 Accounting software and knows as how to view MAS90 data via VFP ODBC. I tried every path but it did not work. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Last I knew, MAS90 was written using Business BASIC. I've never heard of an ODBC driver for that. You will most likely have to find someone fluent in that language or use some low-level routines to access the files. Probably some sort of binary/compressed stuff.

I am not sure, but I did run into MAS 90 awhile ago, and I thought ???? that it was based on a btreive database. There are btreive converters out there.

Hello,
Thank you for your response. FYI, MAS90's underlying database is something called PROVIDEX, not Betrieve. Mas90 provides an ODBC driver with the package, however, it does not work with VFP. It does work with Crystal Report and Excel.

Thank you.

hello,

the solution is to use the remote view connection.

be sure to click the second checkbox in the ODBC connection screen.
