>>>>>>>>>Then it sounds like you are looking at a indexed Cobol File. What you need to do is to write a quick COBOL program that essentially reads in the file and writes it right back out sequentially. Then download THAT file to your network and append into the Fox.

However, it is a bit expensive, particularly if this is a one-shot operation. My company happens to own a copy of Relativity since we have several products written in RMCOBOL.

Pls note that I downloaded correlate from one website and was able to create a database, even it is showing me all the fields everything..

But when I try to set the ODBC link in MS Query, it gives me a error msg. saying "Unexpected I/o Error"

When I try to make a new connection through VFP, it shows me "Cannot load ODBC Library, ODBC32.DLL", Whereas the file exists in my windows/system dir. and even I copied it to my current dir., tried to set path etc..

None of things is working..

Any help is appreciated...
