>Alright I'm desperate, I've got a table with a bunch of data in it, and whenever I select it to import into a dbase table I get those blocks between each letter, I cant seem to get rid of it.

It sound like data is stored in unicode (nchar, nvarchar or ntext) on SQL Server for those fields. By default, VFP9 will bring it back as unicode. You can use SYS(987, .T.) so it'll be converted to ANSI by ODBC driver.
