HI, All

Does anyone familiar with TOPSPEED database? What I want is a tool to open
that can open TPS data file, and export the data into CSV or Excel file, Is
there a tool/utility that can do such thing, I have downloaded a tool called
TOPSCAN, but its too old I guess, failed to run under my XP machine, Anyone
can help?

Thanks

Tiger

Ah, the old Clairion TopSpeed line. I remember using their C tool a
long, long time aqo..

If you could find the old C tool, it might give you some hints!

Hmmm, its too expensive $249 to buy a ODBC driver?

It has been so long since I used TopSpeed C, but if I recall there were
native drivers for the DB back then. If you could find a copy, then you
may be able to wrap this in Delphi. So long ago, I am not sure though.

This was back in the DOS days (aka before Windows ).

Tiger,

The latest Clarion 6.3 TopScan works fine under XP and Vista/2008.

Don't know if this can help (system is developed in Clarion)

http://www.dmc-fr.com/home_en.php

It can convert your TPS into XML (and then there are free tools to convert
from XML to CSV)

If you are interested, let me know and I'll contact the developers of DMC
for you.

HI,

Thanks. but where I can download this 6.3 TopScan, It looked to me there is
no trial version of Clarion I can download (I suppose TopScan would be
included in trial version too), Is it possible I can just grab TopScan from
you if you can, the clinics I worked with just want to export the TPS data
to CSV/TXT file and import to Excel.

I will check with SoftVelocity whether it is allowed to redistribute my
TopScan. I'll get back to you tomorrow (they are not available today).
