>I have some btrieve files that I need to load into Foxpro. I don't have the btrieve itself. I looked into couple of utilities to do so, but they were requesting btrieve. Do you know any utilities that can export the information from .dat files into dbf or ASCII format?

Here is an answer from Doug Hennig in April.

VFP doesn't support importing directly from Btrieve, but there are several options:

- If the application maintaining the Btrieve data has an export function, use that to create a file in a format VFP can read.

- You can get a Btrieve ODBC driver from Pervasive (the manufacturer of Btrieve) and then create a remote view or use SQL passthrough commands in VFP to get at the Btrieve data.

- You can purchase a third-party library, such as DBFtrieve, which allows VFP to access Btrieve data programmatically.
