Opening .btr tables with VB6

[pudgmo]

I need to perform some very simple routines with btrieve 6.15 files (.btr). The information I'm finding relates to earlier versions of either vb or btrieve. I would really appreciate advice on what I need to add to my program, how to open the tables and read field names, types and values. This may sound simple, but for someone who has never delt with betrieve before it is quite confusing. Pervasive has been of little help on this subject.
Thanks in advance.

You WILL need a btrieve engine AND the layout of the btrieve table.

Build a class module with each of the btrive 'fields' as one of the classproperties (Get / Let Procedures to handle the individual fields). Also need to hand code the BTRieve calls. Afew other 'handy' items of information would be the BTRieve data types, annd the conversion from some of the more arcane items to MS datatypes.

This is WAY beyond what I can do on a casual basis. If you are interesed in 'farming out' this, send me an e-mail with some details and we could discuss it.
