hey guys,

thanks for the help and advice. unfortunately, i doubt i will get access to SQL server (forgive the pun). i'll have to start ADO'ing now.....haven't used that much, but i guess the experience is worth it.

I'm afraid I can't really help you with that one either , the last time I used a dBase product was almost 10 years ago, and obviously wasn't ASP related.

I will second Mark's recommendation that instead of spending your time converting to dBase you should just go ahead and convert to Microsoft SQL Server. I don't think you're really going to see any performance gains by going to dBase since it's not a true RDBMS.

If you're currently using ADO in your ASP pages to connect and manipulate the Access database, then you shouldn't have to change the code to much since the ADO layer should handle most of the translation.

I'm not experience with dBase. I have done enough Access to know the horrors. If you can afford it, go for the motherload and use Microsoft SQL Server.
