>I am pretty sure the mystery table os a Paradox table. Borland and Paradox used to be pretty close. Do you own any of the Borland development packages? The reason I ask is because there is a SQL explorer that is budled with Borland (atleast it was bundled with my C++ Builder).

I don't have access (no pun intended) to any Borland tools--so that's out, for now at least. I'll check out the KB article to see if it sheds any light. Thanks

Ah, just did. I see it is for Access and Paradox. But that doesn't get me any further toward a direct import into Fox, and also doesn't explain why Access could import the file specified as file type dBase IV.
