Communication between DBF and MDB files

[Diego Euri Almanzar]

Greetings, dear friends

Is there a redistributable component, a driver, for the Microsoft Access MDB database engine that can be handled by Xbase and transfer data to a DBF file, or vice versa?

I would appreciate your help.

With the ODBCDBE and the "Microsoft Access Database"-driver (as the DSN name), you should be able to directly access the tables.

I'm developing an employee payroll system where employee identification for clocking in and out is based on each person's fingerprint. I couldn't find a fingerprint DLL for Xbase++, so I had to use another language to capture the fingerprints, associated with a fingerprint reader, of course. Since the language used for fingerprint capture doesn't work with DBF files, it at least offers an MDB option.

And thanks to you, Tom and Roger, I've already integrated everything via ODBC. Furthermore, MDB tables can include OLE object fields, which are used to embed or link files from other applications, such as Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, or images (for example, fingerprint). In short, with these tools and your help, everything turned out perfectly.

Thank you very much.

Take a look at innovatrics fingerprint sdk. It is very versatile and easy to use
