DBF WITH EXTENSION OTHER THAN .DBF ( I.E. DAT )

Dear All,
I have few dbase files from older application. They are using .dat as the
extension.
If I rename the file to dbf and using odbc or jet 4.0 ( ole ) I managed to
open connection and read table as it is.
The problem is to make it compatible with older application.
I read in MSDN about Jet 4.0, It is saying that with the previous version of
Jet 4.0, it is allowed to read dbase file with extension other than .dbf
Due to security measure, it has been disallowed
The Problem is :
I have to read .dat as it is w/o renaming the file due to it might be used
when reading the file.
Copying before renaming might be my last effort, as I prefer to be real time
rather than copying the file.
Is there some way to get around this problem ?
Thanks
Regards
Michael
