Message-ID: <41489@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU> Date: 29 Mar 91 06:21:18 GMT Sender: nobody@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: U.C. Berkeley Lines: 7 Can someone tell me if it possible to run an external program from within a dbase3+ application and then use the results to update a database. An example of this would be to call up an external database from within the application. Cheers, -Graham
