how do i open a dbf in vb or even just make vb open it in excel?
opening it a datagrid and editing it and saving the changes is what i ultumately want to do so can anyone point me towards some info ?????????
 
Try this.

Global gfEXE_DB As ADODB.Connection
Global gfConnectString as String


Dim mySQL as String
Dim rs as new ADODB.Recordset

gfConnectString = &quot;Provider=MSDASQL.1;Extended Properties=DSN=Visual FoxPro Database;SourceDB=<enter location of you tables, ex. C:\temp\ . . .>;SourceType=DBF;Exclusive=No;&quot;

With gfEXE_DB
.ConnectionString = gfConnectString
.Open
End With


In your database close routine

GfEXE_DB.Close
Set gfEXE_DB = Nothing
