Zope/Python - DBF files
Hi all, I have to read/write dbf files from a Zope application until all the data will be move to a database like MySQL. Anyone know a module or a library I can wrap to do the work? Thanks in advance. Blaise Laflamme

Also, DBFs are not necessarily DBFs. There are various versions out there, and some have made structural changes that make them unreadable by standard DBF access methods. Visual FoxPro has greatly expanded the old-style DBF from standalone tables to a full database/table relationship. If your data is in one of these newer formats, you'll probably have to export it to be able to use it. ___/ / __/ / ____/ Ed Leafe http://leafe.com/ http://foxcentral.net
