It looks like it will. If the viewer can be automated that would be great. But if it cannot be automated, then you would have to do it manually.
With a little dBaseIV exe you could
RUN
the EXE from you VFP program without having to go in and out of the viewer.
RUN myDB4TODB3
<pre>
USE mydBaseIV.DBF
copy to mydBaseIII.DBF TYPE DBMEMO3
USE
QUIT
USE myVFPDBF
APPEND FROM mydBAseIII.DBF
But ....
You should check the VFP help system for SYS(2029), APPEND FROM and the USE command (that has a DB4 to VFP converter).

>>>I need to extract data from a very old system that stores its data in Dbase 4. Although I can open the tables without any problems in VFP9/8/6, FPW2.6 and FPD2 (I still have all these versions) none of the programs is showing me the real contents.
