>My problem is that I have this data in a DBF table and I want to convert it to HTML format progammatically. I used VFP commands like Copy Memo to copy data to txt file, renamed that file to RTF, copied back the data using Append Memo command but the word does not convert data unless you open that RTF file in it.

Just use COM automation in VFP to CREATEOBJECT an instance of Word, then control Word programmatically using its object model to make it read in the .RTF file and save it to an HTML file, then get that file back into a memo field if you want. Like I said, I don't know the the formatting will be what you want, but you can test that manually in Word before coding it.

Generally, if you can do it manually when you are running Word, you can do it with COM automation from VFP. Read the sections of the VFP Programmer's Guide related to COM automation. You should find a sample or two on controlling Word. The Word object model is in the MSDN library.
