Novell, Btrieve and data access

[Mega1]

I have a customer who refuses to move from an old version of Great Plains 'pre-microsoft' on a novell server using Btrieve 6.15. I am looking for help/advice to make a small VB app that will let them query and print a listing from a specific DAT file. This is being done on a local copy of the data 'not live' on an XP machine. While not new to Vb, I only use it to play and relax 'just don't have the time any more'. I will be using VB 2008 and I guess I need help with the following: 1. What files will I need for the connection to this type of data? 2. What would the connection string look like. I think those should be my only problems. Thanks in advance and all help is greatly appriciated.
