Hi,

I'm using TDbf to access DBase files and it works, but sometimes it
just don't write data in DBF file.

Application set exclusive write over database with try except clause
and if it has exclusive writes it read and write data into it. This
procedure works for days , but for not known reason, ones in a few
hundred writes it just don't write data in to DBF file.

On Wiki :
QuoteThe TDBF code lacked a maintainer for a long while
I have to use DBase because the current (old) system is developed with
clipper and new system exchange data over Dbase files with the old one
(new system uses firebird internally to store data)

Is there any other component to access Dbase files ?

On Wiki :
QuoteCurrently (March 2013), both the Sourceforge upstream project and
FPC database developers are looking into fixing TDBF bugs again.
May be there is an new hope for TDbf , so I can report bugs and hope
they will be resolved ?

Thx

Thx,

As I can found DBF can be accessed thru ODBC driver - It is slow but
it can helps.
