Re: Interfacing with a database using an API (i think...)

Yes Kevin but unfortunately Act was bought out by Sage and Sage don't
provide any support for the API...

They advise not to use a directly link bypassing the API (which is what
i assume DSN is?) but now i have no other option. I'll read up on it
all and give it a go.

My one worry was that this dbf is networked but then i suddenly thought
i'm sure this DSN shouldn't have a problem working with an opened
networked database, after all - what are most databases these days are
networked anyway.

I'm a little anxious about what would happen if Act and my program
tried to update the same field at the same time, but then I guess I
just need to bite the bullet and go for it...

Thanks again!

Gary.
