Most of my VB work has been using Access and Native Jet. I'm trying to edit and update FoxPro tables from a VB application. I created an ODBC connection that allows me to view the FoxPro table but I can't save my changes back to it. How do I do this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

I use Foxpro *.dbf table with DAO in my VB program.

this is a part of codeL:

dim fdyn As Database
dim tbl As Table

Set fdyn = OpenDatabase(Trim(DynacomPath), False,
False, "FOXPRO 2.5;")
Fich_Rech = "empfil"
Set tbl = fdyn.OpenRecordset(Fich_Rech)
tbl.Index = "emplcode"
etc ...


I hope this will help you

Could you elaborate on the line

Set fdyn = OpenDatabase(Trim(DynacomPath), False, False, "FOXPRO 2.5;")

Is DynacomPath the file name and path?

Is "FOXPRO 2.5;" the DSN ?

Thanks

I work with Dynacom windows files.

Dynacom is a comptable software built in foxpro.
*.dbf

you have to open a directory, not a file.

set fdyn = OpenDatabase("c:\dynawin\data01",
False,False, "FOXPRO 2.5;")

yes "FOXPRO 2.5;" is the DSN

i use Microsoft DAO 2.5/3.5 compatibility library

good luck.

i think it's imposible to find this software now
Dynacom release his new version. and they use Access 2000
and flush *.dbf, i think is a good move :)

i can send you dbf files that i work with

gemme your email !
