Hi, I have Laz 1.1 FreePascal 2.62

When using TDBF with DBase file it works fine but when using foxpro
files it says unable to read the file.

Any suggestion to make it works with FoxPro files

perhaps ODBC ?

Or migrating your data to another DB, SQLite, M$Access, DBF... and
then make your Lazarus application.

Hi,

Thanks for reply

Too bad the end user should provide foxpro files to the application to
manipulate them. So I can't choose another DBMS.

Any other sugestion are welcome

regards

I'm assuming you mean Visual Foxpro 9, not regular Foxpro.

FPC trunk/2.7.x has better support for Foxpro/visual foxpro dbfs.
