I have a 3rd party application that uses Dbase files. Their documentation says I can access these files with "applications which can work with standard dbase-format files." So I want to write a foxpro program (in FPD2.5 or VFP5.0) that can read and/or write data to these files without converting them to Foxpro. I can't find a way to "use" them or link to them without being prompted to convert them. Any ideas?

Minimally, I'd be happy accessing the data without modifying it. Ultimately I'd like to populate the tables with data from another Foxpro table.

Thanks!
