MA - How did you want to 'talk' to an application written in VFP 6.0 ?
There are some data issues, assuming 'standard' tables:
1. is your clipper table db3 compliant?
2. is your vfp tables all vfp6 compliant?
3. have u thought about just 'passing data' via ANOTHER table that both the clipper app and the vfp app can use ?
4. a clipper app cannot 'talk' to a vfp app. It can pass data at a low level, to a table type that vfp can read .
5. IF you have source code - and its all clipper - maybe u wanna look at xbase++ - AT LEAST you can use the vfp odbc driver to handle record inserts .
6. one approach, always working, is to make sdf or CSV files from clipper, then have vfp read them [and vice versa].
