Reading data from an DBF file.

Hi, I need to periodically read data from an DBF file which structure is
permanent but its name and path change from reading to reading.
Is it possible to do without setting a link. For instance, using
OpenDatabase method. I tried but failed.

Thanks in advance,
Anatoly Kurilin

Yes. Offer your uers a File/Open dialog to go find the file. Then use
..Connect and .Refreshlink to attach to it.
The file MUST have a DBF extention and the filename portion cannot be
more than 8 chars.
