I think that Classic Software may have the tool I need in order to access Btrieve files? The cost is not exactly 19.95, but it could be worse, I suppose. Before I buy this product, does anyone know of anything else I could buy or download for "FREE" that would do the same job of accessing the Btrieve data, and to be able to export or import its data to tables in FoxPro.

Data Manager for Pervasive SQL and Btrieve Enterprise.

Price: $399.95

Is this worth the nearly $400, or should I do something else?

 Data Manager for Btrieve and Pervasive SQL Enterprise: Complete database access and configurable export for database conversion, integration and reporting
Our goal was to create a tool that allowed someone to export/import data from any version (new or old) of any Btrieve or Pervasive SQL data file into any other database or text file on the planet. Run right out of the box, not require any ODBC or other middleware product to read the data and do it at lightning speed. And it provides configurable export that can be saved, and automated to run over and over again to export data for integration, reporting or database conversions. So even if you are doing a one time export you can test it out and reliably run the same export over and over again. Although it uses native Btrieve access to read the data it can export the data to Microsoft Access, SQL Server, Any ODBC DSN, or any OLE DB provider. Unlike any other tool available anywhere. Unbeatable speed and power for exporting data for reporting, integration or database conversions.

The Enterprise version has all of the features of the standard edition. So you can do everything from creating DDF files to exporting data to any database or file format. And it can work with ANY and ALL versions of Btrieve or Pervasive data files no matter how new or old. It uses native Btrieve calls for reading the data so there are no ODBC drivers to use or configure and it will far outperform aything else when it comes to speed. And it will run right out of the box so you will not spend endless frustrating hours trying to get something to even read the Btrieve data.

We use our own Universal version of the Data Manager for our services. This has added features for conversion and can read many proprietary data dictionary formats. It has special built in recover tools. A built in DDF Sniffer for reverse engineering Btrieve DDF files. It can also handle just about any kind of job you can imagine related to Btrieve and Pervasive SQL databases. It can even handle straight binary data files of various formats! See our service page for more details on our services.
