EDB which is Ok at the development level but I would rather do somerhing more
direct to upgrade my customers.

   Suggestions/thoughts appreciated.

Regards,

Ian

Use http://tdbf.sourceforge.net/ and make a convertion
application into EDB directly.

Ian,

you may generate the sql-script with CREATE TABLE and/or INSERT statements
with values from dbf-file using SMExport suite.
When script(s) generated, just execute in EDB to create/move records

As alternative, open your EDB database and import the records directly from
dbf/fpt using our SMImport suite

This is what I have done however att EDB won't execute scripts.

Looking at this option now.

Ian

I have made my own solution and works like expected.
I have posted at binaries NG a file named DBFTABLE.PAS to handle the
conversion from DBF to DBISam. But I think you can easily port this to
ElevateDB.

We should have a external migration code available in the next month.  If
you look at edbmigrate.pas, you can see the migration code as it exists now
for DBISAM.  You could probably port it to using any other TDataSet
descendant fairly easily.
