Hi!

I have been looking on the pervasive website but things don't get really 
clear to me.

Does anybody know how to access a betrieve database from either Visual 
Basic or from Visual C++?

Is there some sort of ODBC driver or anything alike? Do you know where 
to get it and if it is free or needs to be payed for?

I'm looking for this because we use a product in our clinic that makes 
use of a BTrieve database from which we would like to query some 
information that we would like to use in some other system.

If we can access the BTrieve database we are able to treat our patient 
better, quicker and more cost effective, so I hope someone can help me 
or give me a hint.

Thank in advance!

Jonathan

You can download a 30 day trial version at www.pervasive.com/downloads.
 It has the drivers needed to access the data.  You will need the DDF
files which define the file layouts to use ODBC.  Also you can download
the SDK which has info on different methods of accessing the files
besides ODBC.

You may also wish to contact a local company, www.q-ry.nl -- I believe
that they can provide some help with this, too!
