I might not understand your question, but if you are tring to use a dBase
database you can connect to it using the OpenDatabase command specifying
the directory as the database and connect as DBASE IV as the
recordsource.  You also have to create an INF file containg details of
your index names. It look s something like this:

NDX1=<Index 1 Filename>.NDX
NDX2=<Index 2 Filename>.NDX
NDXn=<Index n Filename>.NDX

I have used dBase files in the past but I wouldn't recommended it as
there are some funny quirks.

Good Luck

 You can use the databases but not the indexes. JET does not support
the Clipper NTX files.
