    Open dbf file with Data object

    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

    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.
