It's a DLL, such as xbs200.dll for VB3 and VB4-16, that allows VB and
Access to use a foreign database without having to go through ODBC.
With the ISAM (short for Indexed Sequential Access Manager, a term for
databases from the not-so-good old days :-) you can use dBase, FoxPro,
and Clipper databases with VB as easily as you can use Access MDBs.
