RuiCaramalho | I've an old program ".exe" that connects to old DBISAM v2.00 files. If the files ares converted to version 3 (so I can use the ODBC driver) do you think the ".exe" program might still work?
If how can I modify DBISAM data using external programs? any dll? any method at all? Thanks in advance |

RuiCaramalho | So that means I would need to have a Delphi Software? and also DBISAM VCL components?
how much would that cost? Thanks. "Tim Young [Elevate Software]" wrote: << I've an old program ".exe" that connects to old DBISAM v2.00 files.

These are you options: 1. Use DBSys version 2 to access and edit the data in the current format, as Tim indicated. This way your application will need no changes, but you can't use ODBC. 2. Use DBSys versions 3 or 4 to upgrade the database to version 3 or 4. Get DBISAM ODBC Driver V3 or V4 and you will then be able to use not only DBSys but also any other database editing tool, as long as it can use ODBC. However, your existing application is going to stop working, unless you upgrade it to use version 3 or 4 of DBISAM. You will need to buy DBISAM VCL 3 or 4 components and build a new version of the application, and of course you will need Delphi. Prices for DBISAM are listed in Elevate web site.

We stopped developing them in 2001-2002, so they aren't really "for sale" anymore. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
