James Cole | I have a couple of database applications built on some older version of DBISAM. I'm using
4.21 and cannot open tables of an older product. Is there any way to determine what version I need to open and edit data in these older tables? |

Jason Lee | James,
You could: a) send a sample table to Elevate support or post to the binaries group and have them tell you what version it is b) download the database system utility for each version and try to open the table(s) ~Jason Lee James Cole wrote: > I have a couple of database applications built on some older version of DBISAM.

Jon Lloyd Duerdoth | At the risk of confusing the issue... you are sure they're DBISAM
tables? The extensions used were frequently the same as some other file formats. DBSYS should upgrade them so you can open them. Utilities | Upgrade Mind you, I've only used that feature on the previous version and have never tried upgrading tables that were several versions back... knowing Tim it would probably work.

If they aren't DBISAM tables, then it should also tell you that. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
