How can I open a dbf file (FoxPro) when the name of table was bigger than 8 characters?

Ex: toto.dbf was good but totototot.dbf was not good.

Thanks
Redg

Sorry for my bad english

In the control panel u will find ODBC. Go to that and select FoxPro as the data type give a Data Source Name (any name u like) and select the path of the .dbf file.

Then use that Data source name within VB to access ur FoxPro database.
