Ron,

To start with you will need the DDF files to use any 3-rd party product
including ODBC. If you do not have these you can try and get them from
the vendor or you can use BtSearch32 at www.nssdd.com to help you
analyze the structure and build the DDF files. Once you have these
then BtSearch32 will export to dbase or ascii formats. If you are
doing a one time export you can download the trial version of Pervasive
Btrieve V8 at www.pervasive.com/downloads. That will allow you to use
BtSearch32 as well as to have access to ODBC once you have the DDF
files. You should not mix versions on the same data at the same time.
