I am wanting to update inventory records in a dbf file with MS Access. This file is from our Inventory Management software however the sofware isn't very conducive to edit records in mass like it would be in a spreadsheet type format that Access could provide. I made a connection with the foxpro ODBC driver and can view and make queries. However, when I edit a record in Access it doesn't reflect the change when viewed within the software. The strange thing is that when I open the Access link again to that inventory.dbf file it still has the change present that I made. I'm not sure what is going on. Also, I've noticed that as soon as I open the inventory item page within the software the inventory.dbf file's modified date will update to the current time but I don't know what it is writing since when I open the access link again it still shows my change okay. Perhaps it has a cache or reading another file I don't know about. If anybody has any suggestions I would appreciate it.
thanks!
thanks!
