Satya,

Sorry, I left the Win3 environment a long time ago. You'll have to use some sort of DDE process. You can always send FoxPro a SELECT command to run that would build a new table and add whatever fields you like:
select *, .f. as lNewField, 000000 as nNewField ;
   from TheOriginalTable ;
   into table TheNewTable
