DED w/ dBase IV and concurent Legacy Users

I am trying to write and application that will access Dbase IV files at the same time dBase IV users are using the databases.

Using a DAO control I can accomplish this but then I can't use the report Designer.

If I go Into the Data Environment Designer I can connect to the Database using ODBC Microsoft dbase driver but only if there are no Dbase IV users using the file.

I can code the connection using ADO and the jet 4.0 engine with the same results.

I either need a way to use the report Designer with a DAO control or a way to make ADO use a dbase file while others are using it.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Dan
