I have done some programming in dbase3 and clipper.
Does anyone know of a guide to translate commands and techniques from,
say, clipper to Visual Basic? Any references to books or articles would
be very appreciated. (I need a "dBase users guide to database
programming in Visual Basic")
Thanks in advance,

Byron

Hi Byron,
First sorry, cause i cannot give you the answer that you want.
Second, I've had the same problems few years ago with converting clipper to
VB4.
After long searches i decide that it's easier to build the application from
the beginning new in VB. Convert your dbase-file to access and build a new
programm. You will see, it takes not so much time than converting.

Have look at Artemis it allows VB4 to access DBF file formats.it's mush
better than using very very slow Access.  Artemis is much faster and it
uses the NTX index formats.
We are currently in the same situation of converting Clipper code to VB4
yes it was quite painfull at first using Access but since Artemis it has
reduced are devlopment time due to keeping the existinf database design.
