Steve,

>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 :<.

Now that I'm looking at it, I hate it too...and can't seem to find anything relevant (I was hopeful when I saw "Converters and Filters" but, nada).

Resorting to the Help File for Access 2000:

BUILT IN DRIVERS:
Data Source: SQL tables, Microsoft Visual FoxPro, and data from other programs and databases that support the ODBC protocol

Version or Format Supported: Visual FoxPro 2.x, 3.0, 5.0, and 6.x (import only)
For an up-to-date list of supported ODBC drivers, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

ODBC DRIVERS
You can use ODBC drivers to connect to Microsoft SQL Server databases, Microsoft FoxPro databases, and data from other programs that provide 32-bit drivers in compliance with ODBC Level 1 to blah, blah, blah.


Kind of confusing...sounds like there should be a "built in driver", according to the first part...but I guess they want you to use ODBC somhow?

>If you don't find the option in Office setup, it must be a part of an anti-FoxPro conspiracy.
I think you've hit the nail on the head...should we start an investigation?

Thanks for your input on this...J
