    Make Empty dbf file , and store it in your application resource , or application location Then fill it with data "Using OleDB" , and copy it to floppy HINT Code :

    OleDbConnection ccc = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + filepath.Substring(0, filepath.LastIndexOf("\\")) + ";Extended Properties=dBASE IV;");
    ccc.Open();
    OleDbCommand cmd1 = new OleDbCommand("Select * From " + filepath + "smsout.dbf", ccc);
    OleDbDataReader dr1 = cmd1.ExecuteReader();
    if (dr1.HasRows)
    {
    DataTable dt1 = new DataTable();
    dt1.Load(dr1);
    }
    ccc.Close();

    BTW: Is floppy still in use ?

    I know nothing , I know nothing ...

          As far as I can see it's not dependent on storage medium. But I meant that I haven't seen a floppy in years. Useless to have a file no one can use.

              That's pretty modern. Here in Germany some companies'/authorities' IT departments prevent the introduction of digital dictation and speech recognition by insisting that that must be done without computers, like dictation on tapes. Maybe they fear their backup of the files become to heavy, several tons of punch cards...

                I don´t believe you .... google finds a lot of things about dbf´s. And if you search codeproject with the keyword "dbf", you will find an helpful article/project by pascal ganaye
