Hi Naomi,

> >Do you know how to work with DBF files that have more than 255 fields? I suspect they are Clipper files, but I'm not certain.

Is this a one time conversion, or do you want to access the file directly? Are you accessing the file at the same time as another application?

For a one time conversion, you could split the file with VFP's file function. Aside from the header this is a fixed length format, which makes it relatively easy. You would need to determine the size of the header, though.
