Yes, a friend of mine has one (not that I agree) : Dumb Vdb and get Visual
FoxPro.

Please note: this is not my solution!

With all the problems I am experiencing with VdB 7.0 I am considering this
move although I have purchased VdB 7.0 in mid January 1998 (for a price
equal or more than what many poeple earn here a month) and have tried to
download the patch 7.01 about a dozen times, I have not achieved it yet as
the Borland Server stops responding between the time I have downloaded 1Mb
and 4 Mb. I have contact Borland here and they have said that they will
assist me.

I had the same problem, but solved it by importing the files first into
Quatro Pro with ODBC by means of the QuickColumn menuitem under the
Datamenu. Then I saved the files as dbf files and opened them with VdB 7.0
in the Tabledesigner and changed all numeric fields to float where I set the
decimal to one larger than the longest decimal. It worked. If your data
files are to long to be imported as a whole into Quattro Pro, then use ODBC
to select data and import the table in bits and pieces. Once you have
configured all the tables to dbf tables, append the first table with the
other tables (search the helpindex for append() )
