"obsolete database management systems are still alive and well"..yeah, and this product is a NEW, just released product replacing a DOS Clipper product.

VFP3 developers still have work to do...of course, and in about 60 minutes they/we could be up-to-speed in VFP 5.0 and I would assume 6.0 too. And therefore using a non-obsolete product. I haven't worked in 6 yet, but found that going from 3 to 5 is no big deal.

I don't have to do anything in Paradox. We have this product and we would like to access the data. The problem that I have now is that the DB files contain a password.

Does anyone know how to hack a DB file's password protection?

Thanks.
