DBF Database APP

DBF Database APP

DBF Database APP

(OP)
Hello,
I'm kinda new in VB 6.0. Let me explain the "problem". I work in a company that owns a supermarket chain. The payments for the aquisition of the merchandise is made at the home-office. The bills come at the supermarket locations.The software that records all the bills from the suppliers, installed in all the supermarket locations exports a dbf file wich contains the necesary information for the payments to be done. I want to write a program that enables the user to append the records from the dbf's daily into a global dbf file. Is it possible? Can anyone help me on this with a suggestion, or a link perhaps? 10x a lot

Hello,
This is the source code for the app so far. I use Microsoft Visual FoxPro OLE DB provider for the connection to be done.
Now I'm stuck on appending records from the .dbf from the supermarkets into a global dbf. To give a clear ideea of what I worked so far i'll give you the code. I wrote some comments for a clearer picture.

RE: DBF Database APP

This question doesn't have much to do with engineering. You will do better to ask on our sister site http://www.tek-tips.com

Make sure you search the site to get the right forum, and check out the FAQs first

Good Luck
