DBC V DBF
For better or worse, I have always made my programs with free standing tables. I'm developing a new package that requires me to to also open 5 tables from another system that uses a DBC (inside of which are some 75 tables) I know some of you will laugh, but how do I open THOSE 5 tables , PLUS my own tables ?

Re: DBC V DBF
In the same way you are opening yours. There is no need to open the database first - it will open automatically.

Try the Open database (databasename) shared to open the dbc, then Use table1 in 0 Use teble2 in 0 Etc John -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sytze de Boer Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2007 8:51 PM To: profox@leafe.com; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: DBC V DBF For better or worse, I have always made my programs with free standing tables.

I know some of you will laugh, but how do I open THOSE 5 tables , PLUS my own tables ? Only the ignorant and arrogant will laugh. The rest of us look at the 1000 pg Hacker's Guide to VFP 6, then think about the hundreds of commands, functions, and other features added since 6.0, and appreciate the fact that no one (not even Ted OR Tamar) could know everything in VFP. I remember watching one of the top gurus in the biz confidently tell a roomful of people that there was no way to change the font in the debug window in FoxPro/Win 2.6. Everyone accepted the statement at its face value. After everyone in the room was gone, I pointed out that if you clicked on the Close box, you actually got an expanded menu, of which one of the choices was Font... s Myself, I've never done a Cursor Adaptor, or used a WinAPI call, or built a project hook, other than to try one out while writing about it. Life's SO short and there are so MANY pedestrians.

RE: DBC V DBF
True. I've even seen Calvin be surprised by something Fox would do. Nobody knows it all. Everyone is ignorant, just on different subjects.
