I'm trying to open a dBase III file with a VB 6.0 app, that will
basically allow the user to enter in a stock number to search for, then
display the selling price for the item.   I don't want to invest in anything
like CodeBase, and I was wondering if there's a way to do it easily.    I'm
used to working with dBase files with Clipper, but I'm new at it for VB.
I added the data control to my form and can move through the records easily
using the buttons on the data control, but I need to be able to:

Open the file
Index it
Open the index
Search for the appropriate record
Display the field contents.

How can I add separate command buttons to skip records instead of using the
data control that's there?   it's rather ugly.

Thanks in advance!
