Were starting a new project that involves a Btrieve database for reporting purposes. We have found that the ODBC works just fine but that it is slow. I have been looking at an ActiveX Control for Btrieve that Smithware has put out (normally used with VB) and was wandering if anyone has any experience implementing the tool in VFP 3.0 or 5.0 . Thanks in advance for your help. Bill Reiman Bill Reiman MIS Manager, CUPA 202-439-0311 #372 http://www.cupa.org
