>Don't believe there is any way to use Jet to access BTrieve, but there is an interesting article in VB Tech Journal this month about making some framework classes to encapsulate the ODBC for Btrieve into something that looks a lot more developer friendly. You might take a look there for some help.

Jet 2 & 2.5 can access Btrieve database. You'll have to stick to 16-bit apps if you want to use Jet.
Another solution is an OCX from Smithware. Comes in 16 & 32 bit versions. It doesn't use Jet at all and it's very very fast.

I scanned the VB Tech Journal article and looks that the author is wrapping on the Btrieve engine. Use with caution.
