Hello

I am accessing DBF files that were made in Clipper from a VB6 application. I was able to access them ok through a Visual FoxPro driver, and I don't need to update or do anything else but select from these files. The problem is, that one of the fields is size 400 chars, but all the Microsoft drivers I am trying (dbase, Visual FoxPro) are seeing the field as having a width of 144 characters so I am unable to retrieve the whole contents of the field. Does anyone know a way around this? Many many thanks in advance!
