Hi;
We have an old program that runs on DOS operating system and uses some .dbp
files as its Database files to show their data.
When i double click on a .dbp file,just a blank MsgBox opens.Nothing more.
We seriously need the data of that .dbp files,otherwise we have to enter
more than 50,000 records into 2 related tables manually.I contacted to its
programmer.She says this is a C program and that files are made and just for
use by C language programs and can not be converted to any other format.(I
mean a useable format for Access such as mdb,xls,txt,dbf and so on).
I wonder if the C language can make its own Database (is it true?) but have
nothing to say about.What i have doubt on is the term "There is no way to
change .DBP files". I believe that in this word,there must be a way to
convert them at least to .dbf format,then i can easily import .dbf files
into Access tables using dBase drivers.In fact,what i want is to kinda
import data from dbp files to Access tables.Directly or indirectly.
So i ask you help me to do something on this files if you know about C
language or its dbp database files,or if you have access to a professional C
programmer.
I will be so much grateful to you and thank you in advance for your help.
