Mike,

Pervasive (http://www.pervasive.com/) is the company that sells Btrieve (now called Pervasive SQL). The have a tool called DDF Builder that allows you to reverse engineer Btrieve tables and build the DDFs yourself. You'll find some information on their site if you're searching for DDF Sniffer or DDF Builder. I have never used it though.

Before you investigate in one of these tools, I suggest you send me a table and I will try to convert it with the tools I have available.

>Thanks for the reply, Daniel!

>>Btrieve is storing metadata about the tables in DDF files. If you have these DDF files available, then I suggest that you try ODBC. Maybe the drivers have improved since I've last used them. Without the DDFs, however I'm afraid you have to use DBFTrieve.

>>You can send me a DAT file and if you have, the corresponding DDFs. If you don't have the DDFs, you will need to tell me the structure of the table. I'll have a look and try to convert it. I can also send you some sample programs that should get you started with DBFTrieve should you decide to go this way.
