>>Fields name in VFP tables have length equal 10. Maybe the original table had fields name like "myFieldConnString" and "myFieldConnPort" (bigger than 10). In the conversion, the fields new names was "myFieldCon" and "myFieldCon". This way, you get error "duplicate field name".

When I try to open any of these tables in VFP 9 I get message "Duplicate field names". I tried to open these tables in dBase III but I get message "not a dBase database"

>>>Any suggestions on how to open these files?
