thanks Jim,

But these tables are OLD, probably created in a UNIX platform.

>ISAM is a generic term meaing Indexed Sequential Access Methodology. VFP dbf's are ISAM tables. To accomplish what you are trying to do you need to know what created the tables so you can find out what format they are in. If the creator has ODBC drivers then you can access them directly from VFP using remote views.
