>In my VFP 5.0a application I have a feature that exports the data to a FoxPro 2.x format so that the user can merge the data with MS Word. I have used the FOX2X file type since Word (especially earlier versions) does not recognize A VFP file. Some users can do the merge just fine but we are getting more and more users who do not have the dBase/FoxPro data access drivers on their system.

Phyllis,
There are at least 3 ways (as always) to do it in VFP. If you don't want to use any foxtable (any version) and ODBC, you could still export data to plain text files (as already mentioned) or as XLS, or directly create as a mailmergeheader file in word using application.datatoclip(). datatoclip is the fastest method AFAIK but would be problematic with huge data (as others).
