dBase Connection

HI,

How to connect to the dBase database?? One option is to create a DSN and use it.But I want to do it in some other way like just passing a connection string or like that.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Have a look at OleDB at msdn.microsoft.com

And then to http://www.connectionstrings.com

DBF/Foxpro

A lot of stuff.

Hi Kshitij,

You may be able to read your Dbase tables with the FoxPro and Visual FoxPro
OLE DB provider, available from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/do...s/default.aspx.
