I was planning to help out the community by making some 3rd party utilites to edit the Database files of MF, but unfortunetly, I can't seem to get my copy of Access to acess the files. Keeps give me errors everytime I try to open them with Access. If I can't get Access to open the files to begin with, I can't use VB6 to make utilities to manipulate things. I hope other people have better luck at this then I. [8|]

If I can't get Access to open the files to begin with, I can't use VB6 to make utilities to manipulate things.

Sorry, why ? I have tried VB 8 and here i could open the databases. VB 8 supports Access 97 databases. VB 8 is as Microsoft Visual Basic Express Edition free so you do not really need VB 6.

Where can I get this "VB8"? I've never heard of it before you mentioned it.

VB 8 = Visual Basic 2005.

Here is the link:

Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition

VB6 acesses the database your going still have the same problem if you go to vb8 or vb2005.
Just make the form and put a new data<> thing in when you put in a textbox like it to the data do hickey thing and it will show you all the fields.

I have to admit not a very good programmer heres what i did.This was for the VCFL I altered for more general use maybe someone with better knowlege can build on it or just put it out to the trash.I wasn`t suew how to access different DBs so you have to put the db in with the program and change the name to lge_aaaa.I wrote formulas for the different positions and put in a college generator.Like I said before I am no programmer but if this helps someone try it.Its in VB6
