Dynamically Conver ACT! 4.0, 5.0 to 6.0 at Runtime via ACT! 6 API

[tchinedu]

This is the issue I'm trying to resolve. I need to open the files dynamically at runtime through code like:

(C# - .NET)

actDB = new ActOle.DATABASEClass();

actDB.Open("C:\files\actfile.dbf");

if the file is an Act! 5 or earlier version, I need to do the conversion dynamically and conitnue all within the code. I will not know what version the files are untill runtime.....how do I achieve this.

1. Detect what version a given dbf file is dynamically at runtime.

2. Convert the dbase dynamically at runtime if needed

I will not have the luxury of Launching ACT, opening the files and converting them, that option is not feasible for my requirements.

Please Help Guys!!
