>I need a little bit of advice. I want to be able to query a database from a VFP 3.0 app. running on Windows NT 4.0 over a Novell 4.0 network. The only problem is that the database resides on a HP UNIX machine. I thought about programatically controlling a Telnet session to the UNIX box through a DDE interface but I don't know if this is the right way to go. Apart from that I can't find any documentation for DDE on the standard Windows Telnet app.

Tell us a little about the database - how dynamic is it? Is it a text file? If not, what flavor database is it? Is there an ODBC driver for it?
