[Dxbase] Windows 10

[Paul Smith]

MDB yes, but I am more concerned about the version of the Jet engine that is being used.  For instance, the current versions of Visual Studio will not open it natively, whereas Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 would.  Just a thought.

Probably the more critical question is, will the Microsoft database engine DXbase is built on still run in Windows 10?   Microsoft considers it a depreciated technology.
