Actually the latest versions of the Microsoft drivers (MDAC 2.0+, I
believe) have removed all database update capability for DBase files. So,
unless you only need read access, or can live with the older ODBC drivers
(many security problems), then DBase isn't really an option on NT. I'd be
interested in hearing about other workable DBase ODBC drivers for NT, as
we've got a client using DBase files and it's kept us from updating the
drivers on that server. (To be more precise, I updated to the latest MDAC
on the server and broke their entire web site. Microsoft makes it nigh on
impossible to revert back to older versions of ODBC drivers. The web site
had to be moved to another server with version MDAC 1.5 drivers.)
