If the Clipper array is not multi-dimensional (i.e. it doesn't contain other arrays or objects in itself) you're in luck as you can simply map it to a VFP array using DIMENSION. If, on the other hand it's multi-dimensional then it's more like a C STRUC or a VB TYPE. In which case you would have to do extensive re-writing, perhaps using VFP custom classes.

Hope it helps
