Hi. Our company is currently outsourcing a small database project. The following is a description. If you have any ideas or would like to work with us on the projet, please reply. Thank you.

We currently have a single database program that basically does a lookup and display on two indexes. We need for you to convert our current clipper dbf file to one that is either dos based, or windows based. We are open to any suggestions that you may have. Also, we would need a solution to add more records into the dbf and import them from a csv or similar file. Basically all your program would need to do is take in two fields, search the database for these two fields and display in an orderly fashion the records that fall into these categories.

I can help you on your project. My suggestion is to use Access97 or 2000 whichever is available. I can convert your clipper dbf file to Access database. Importing .csv will not be a problem.

If you want to outsource this to me, please email medirectly at dsalight@msn.com or send me a reply. I will get a notification if you send me a reply.

Certainly clipper DBF's could be converted to MS Access but Microsoft's Visual Foxpro might be a better solution and scale better if you're planning a wider deployment of this DB and might later need a Web-accessible version.

If you're interested in more details, email me at the address given in my alias.
