Clipper may have problems reading DBFs created by VFP (there are differences in the DBF header) but those problems can be handled by COPY TO...TYPE FOX2X

PMFJI: One BIG caveat: Clipper allows character fields of up to, I think, 1024 bytes, which exceeds FP/VFP limits. (That was one way to prevent other xBase users from opening the tables outside of the app...) Beware of that. Otherwise, I think your suggestion, Ed is the easiest way.
