>Hi all,

>Does anyone know where on the MS site or any of the MSDN CDs I can find the Microsoft Btrieve ODBC driver, 16 *or* 32 bit? We have a VFP app that needs to read data from AccPac tables. All of the AccPac documentation keeps stating to use the "Microsoft Btrieve ODBC Driver" for this purpose, but I cannot seem to find it anywhere.

Here is an answer from Doug Hennig in April.

VFP doesn't support importing directly from Btrieve, but there are several options:

- If the application maintaining the Btrieve data has an export function, use that to create a file in a format VFP can read.

- You can get a Btrieve ODBC driver from Pervasive (the manufacturer of Btrieve) and then create a remote view or use SQL passthrough commands in VFP to get at the Btrieve data.

- You can purchase a third-party library, such as DBFtrieve, which allows VFP to access Btrieve data programmatically.
