I noticed that in 1.1.0 that I can link *.dbf files in a database application. When I tried 2 Beta I can not find a way to link a dbf file when using sbase.exe. I hope that feature will be added in the continuing development. I find that dbf files are the best way of sharing data when using ACCESS and other database application data. If there is another way, I would appreciate hearing about it. As it is, it appears that I would have to suck up the data in a spreadsheet formatted file and write it out in XML. That then is not accessable by ACCESS. (Why would I want to do that? It takes time to convert from one database engine to another.)
Thanks George Finnin
