>When using the "COPY TO xxx TYPE something" command, is there a relationship between the FOXPLUS and FOX2X types and the old DB3 and DB4 types? Which of the 2 is more generic to pass around to other programs?
I always use FoxPlus - seems to be equivalent to the dBASE III format. I needed this mainly for importing data into Excel later; despite being a Microsoft product, it doesn't understand the standard VFP files. But with the option "FOXPLUS" it works.
