Barry, at the risk of posting something here about .NET twice in one day, I'll suggest that .NET is an option for all of these questions we see here about "how do I connect X to U2?". See these links for info about dBASE and .NET (sew the URL pieces together): General ODBC to dBaseIV without a DSN: http://www.carlprothman .net/Default.aspx?tabid=90#ODBCDriverForDBASE ODBC .NET Data Provider to datasources like dBaseIV with a DSN: http://www.carlprothman .net/Default.aspx?tabid=86#ODBCManagedProvider (scroll down to "For all other ODBC Drivers) (lots of other providers listed on that page, good info!) ODBC and OLEDB connection info to DBF among many others: http:// www.connectionstrings .com/ Sample code: http://www.kdkeys .net/forums/748/ShowPost.aspx And http://www.experts-exchange .com/Programming/Programming_Languages /Dot_Net/Q_20666541.html And http://aspadvice .com/blogs/andrewmooney/archive/2004/10/22/2477.aspx So that gets your dBASE files connected to .NET, but then what? ADO.NET, usable with those links above is a good universal hub for data from any relational or MV source. And then to U2? [now the ad part] mv.NET is a wheel spoke (so to speak) to any MV environment. UO.NET is not adequate for this it does not include native integration with ADO.NET where mv.NET does, so while you can use UO.NET to do this for free, you will need to manually write a lot of code for all of these sorts of projects. I hope that helps.
