This would be excellent, if I could convert the data from Lotus Approach to Excel. But I don't know how to do it. The guy who was using Lotus Approach no longer works for the company, nobody else really knows how to use it. I will have to ask them to let me sit at the computer and try different things to see if I could figure out a way to move the data out of it.
Thank you for your suggestion.
>I am not familiar with the Lotus Approach. But if it allows to convert data to the "regular" Lotus files like *.WK*, then you could use Excel Automation in VFP to open the file, to convert it to xls format, and import it to the VFP table.

>>1. What files should I copy from the Lotus Approach directory to move to my computer?
>>2. What tools would you recommend to use to conver those files to text or VFP or something else?
