Borland Discourages Use of BDE FoxPro Driver

May 12th, 2000

Important News Bulletin! From the Borland Community web site at http://community.borland.com/article/0,1410,21774,00.html, Borland discourages the use of their own native BDE FoxPro Driver for anything other than read-only access to FoxPro tables. The following is the exact quote:

"Based on extended testing of the Native BDE FoxPro driver, Inprise/Borland advises against any use of this driver other than for read only access. Usage other than read only may result in crashes, Access Violations or corruption of indexes.", Borland Developer Support Staff.

This is one more reason to use Apollo to manage DBF tables, especially FoxPro.
