If you need to create the DDF files for your btrieve file you can take
a look at BtSearch at www.nssdd.com. It helps you analyze the
structure and build the DDF files. Once built it will export to dbase
or ascii formats.

Hi,

I have a the same problem and require help....!
I have a application which gives me Index/File/Field DDF's.
It also has a option Btrieve witch i think/thought would output the Data from
the *.Dat files so i could the use whatever (Excel/Access). After reading
through this Btrieve Group i gather i have to use Sql to link everthing?
The tips/downloads (www.nssdd.com)for diverse tools to check data and so on i > have done but to little avail. Either ODBC fails or is not the right version, > differences and so on.

I would appriciate if you or someone out there can give me a structured way to
get me going.

My aim is to get the data out of some 30 *.DAT files and use these for my own
statistical purposes.
I have programming knowlegde in various languages but would like to use VB/VBA
My ODBC/Engine knowledge is limited, how do i

1)setting/linking/importing to Access or VB to get *.Txt/CSV file
2)do i use a MS eingine or some other, when i start the Btrive option from
the application W32MKDE.EXE (vers. 2.0.430.1) is started

I would appriciate all help you can supply
Thanks
David

Start at http://www.goldstarsoftware.com/press.htm for an overview of the
ODBC access process, which also indicates the requirements for getting
there.
