>>>>>A new customer of ours wants to convert their data from Vertrax's FuelPak software to ours. The other program appears to have been written in Java, and I have no experience in reading, much less converting, Java data files in VFP. Can anyone offer help or suggestions with this?

>>>Up until a few minutes ago, I didn't even know *that*. It has tentatively been identified as a Pervasive Btrieve set of files, and I'm in the as-yet-unsuccessful process of trying to find an ODBC driver to read the data.

>>I think on this page http://www.pervasive.com/database/Home/Products/PSQLv11.aspx you can download PSQL Server - Windows. Best the 32 bit version
>>Looks like a temp license for one month

>>Then you should have PSQL Control Center and documentation

>>( if memory still ok) For ODBC access you will need to make DDF files for the database, Then you can set up an odbc connection

>Please tell me that link is not how the company normally does business... First I have to create an account there to download it, then it installs a MobiGenie downloader, loaded with crapware, set off antivirus warnings, and then took me to another webpage to which it wants another account created, which then requires a credit card. **** that.
