>>Well I'm working on my first .NET application. The datastore is a VFP DBC. One of the users has asked for the ability to export to Access MDB format. The only tool I've found to enable this is DBC2MDB.app which dosen't provide sourcecode and has a few limitations. Does anyone know of a .NET module to do this or another place I can look for some code?

The thing I like about VFP is the ease with which I can manipulate the data and structure from the command prompt. I find it a lot more cumbersum in access and harder yet in SQLServerExpress. Things like Append, Delete, ZAP, Copy To Type, etc. are just not as easy. (Perhaps because I'm just not as familiar) but the biggest problem is that the user making the request is not a database person. She won't accept tools I might build for her and she just wants to work with the data in the Access environment. I'm afraid trying to get her to connect to SQL and then work with the data might be too much for her.
