I understand that it's possible to access dBASE III+ databases from a remote site using dBASE III+ --- does anyone know how this is done? In particular, can it be done WITHOUT buying a dBASE communications library, or without using anything but the standard dBASE programming commands? For those who doubt it can be done, there is someone advertising a dBASE comm library that includes Xmodem-CRC routines using dBASE. I rather suspect that they're calling C or assembly language routines, though, and I'd like to keep things as pure dBASE as possible. I'm anticipating using a BBS program of some sort to restrict access to the database and keep an eye out for lost carrier, etc. Thanks for the help. -- A hunting we will go, | James S.
