Ah. My writing improved, but not my reading. Sorry. Hurt me plenty. :-)))

Jeez! I was never so wicked to use *that* many fields!

Maybe Bill could build and intermediate clipper app with an intermediate database...

Say, the Win app would export the data through the DBase ODBC driver into the intermediate database, and the intermediate clipper app would get the data from the DBase db (Via de NDX driver) and put it in the right place. That might even solve the field limitation problem.

That might work, no? I know it would be slow and hard disk intensive, but it probably works.

Did you know that there are innocent people dying in East Timor?
It helps if you do...

I suppose you don't need glasses if you're able to read this line
