help regarding file creation

[foxuma2001]

Hai friends,
I think most of the accounting packages dont use any backend databases. Those softwares create some files with some extension for that particular software and saving its data in those files (like Tally which create files in data directory with unique extension for each new company we create). How to use VB for doing this type of work?
If possible then also tell me can we able to loop thru those data as we select, insert and delete in to relational databases?
As Iam desperate please suggest me as regards this.
Thanx and Regards
Uma.

You will probably have to talk to the manufacturer of the product to get that kind of information.

I would still look for a database engine. Some financial database engines store their data in files. For example, AccPac uses the pervasive database engine which stores its data in files and provides an interface similar to SQL Enterprise Manager to look at the data in table format. Thanks and Good Luck!
