>What happens when you copy to CSV?

TYPE CSV is not valid in 5.0. So I used DELIM. The good news is that it will copy more records, BUT when I open the delimited file in Excel 2010, I still need to change field types in the open wizard. If I leave them all as GENERAL, then 'F' translates into 'False' and '03' translates into a numeric 3. In both cases I need to change GENERAL to TEXT. Rather tedious, but that's what you get when working with old versions!

Thanks to you and Rick!
