VFP will read these files without any problems. If memo fields are involved, VFP will convert them, I seem to remember that it's the same for mdx files (dBase version of cdx index files) . In other words, most likely you won't be able to use the files from dBase afterwards.

>I can't believe someone just gave me a set of dBASE II tables. I don't have anything that will read them anymore. Can anyone point me to something that will? Even if I can just export to text would be a start. I know I could write a prg using fopen and fread and decipher the headers then read them but that would take more time than the job is paying.
