    Getting list of tables from ODBC (DBASE III) database

    I need to access a DBASE III database from my program to get a list of tables from it.

    Does anyone have an idea, how I can do that?

    I'm currently using Microsoft's .NET ODBC Provider to access to the database.

    access dbase tables

    You should be able to open a blank Access Database - call it whatever you like. Then open it - go File - Get External Data - Import - Browse to the folder where the DBASE files are and import them. It imports the structrure and the data

    regards

    I know. But the thing is, the database (in dbase format) is used by another system. My program is suppose to go in and get some data in specific intervals.

    Importing manually into access or even mssql format isn't an option.
