First of all, there is no such thing as a Clipper database. Clipper was
designed around the dBASE III .DBF file format. Granted, Clipper does have
it's own index files, but you won't need those anyway, because VB will build
it's own indexes for a .DBF file. All you have to do is put the .DBF files
you want to work with in a directory, which will be your database. Then
just connect to that database via the installable ISAM driver for dBASE
and Foxpro files. VB will treat the individual .DBF files as tables.
Look up "Connecting to external databases" in help.
