Hi Jill,

Just off the top of my head, the list of import filters that is installed in Access (or any other Office app) is an option when Office is installed on the machine.

Run setup from the Office 2000 CD and see if you can find Import Filters as an option under Access...I hate the new way of selecting options in Office 2000 :<.

If you don't find the option in Office setup, it must be a part of an anti-FoxPro conspiracy.

I would think that choosing dBase III should allow you to import a FoxPro table. I don't think the import routine would look at the Fox database container (that is just a guess).

HTH
