Can VB 5.0 work with Foxpro 5.0?
Steve, Yes you can. I assume you are wanting to connect to the database (DBC) file. If you are using the DataControl (DAO) set the connect property to "FoxPro DBC;" (without the quotes) and the databasename to the DBC file then the recordsource to the name of the table. if using just DAO set the connect option of the opendatabase method to "FoxPro DBC;" . You must also have the IISAM driver installed.
