Hi,

>One problem that can be ellusive with SQL Server is if a char field has an apostrophe in it, you need to double the apostrophe before inserting into SQL Server. So Jone's becomes Jone''s.

Thanks Jim (and Jordan)
In fact the problem seems to be a one character field name in the VFP table - viz. 'i'
I changed this to 'ix' and the export suceeded. Oddly enough other one character field names, such as 'k', did *not* cause a problem.......

Best,
Viv
