[JimHeavey]

I want to create a dataset in one program and save it to the hard drive and
then I want to read it in another program as a dataset....can I do this....Is
there an example? I know that I could create a comma delimited file and go
that way, but I was thinking there there was a was to save it out and read it
back in as a dataset.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!!!!
