ActiveX controls in VFP
Hi,
what you can do is destroying the header of your dbf files after saving the original header and closing the file.
e.g.
create a wrapper for oppening and closing tables
in the opening wrapper "repair" the header
in the closing wrapper "destroy" the header
this way is very simple, but most people can't open these files.
regards
Franz
