Can anyone help me out with Dbase IV program source. I need it so as to convert the program to another programming.
I lost it to virus. Please come to me aid with this.

I used to be Dbase IV way back 20 years ago. Are you familiar with using ODBC (Open DataBase Connection) to import your existing Dbase IV files to other database software such as MS-Access, MySQL, MS-SQL, Borland Paradox, Lotus Approach, Oracle, goes on?

Other alternative, you'll find that the DBF's are actually just long text files with a header that tells you where each field begins so MsAccess, Borland Paradox, or Lotus Approach could import the data and you could then update it to a more current and, dare I say it, a better supported platform. Failing that a spreadsheet might be able to manipulate the data for you.

Use google search for "ODBC" or "Database to database convert" tutorial. Good luck!!!
