Yeah,, the only way is doing an ASCII export either by commad delim or fixed format.
I was in the same situation a couple of years back and that was the only way I was able to "talk" to this DB enviroment.

I think they are coming up with a new 32 bit version, they have like yearly meeting in England.I know of a developer that goes there every year to hear and to check the "new" stuff available to DataEase

>>Have a client that has a Dataease system (yes there are a few still out there). We are upgrading here to VFP 6.0. In the meantime we have to add records daily from the dataease system. We would like to use the dataease system directly instead of creating an ascii output file. Anyone out there know how or have done it?
