Re: [dtp-dev] Driver Using DTP

Hi Ray...

So you're trying to create a new driver
to connect to a DBF file?

All of the DTP database functionality
is geared towards JDBC access, meaning that you'd need to have a JDBC driver
already. Let me point you to a series of blog posts I did for enabling
the SQLite database for DTP a while back. It walks through all the various
steps:

http://fitzdtp.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-do-you-add-your-own-custom-driver.html
http://fitzdtp.blogspot.com/2008/08/dtp-sqlite-support-continued-on-to.html
http://fitzdtp.blogspot.com/2008/08/creating-actual-sqlite-connection.html
http://fitzdtp.blogspot.com/2008/08/creating-sqlite-connection-profile-ui.html

Please let me know if that doesn't get
you going in the right direction. The online help for DTP 1.6 and the upcoming
1.7 also includes steps for creating the driver definition and connection
profile via the UI.

Good luck!
