True, but it can be dodgy unless the data is clean.

What version of FileBreaker?? some of the older ones don't do DBF, but they will do tab delimited text.

The real problem comes when the users have entered text with carriage returns into a text field, or used the multiple values option available in FileMaker.

If you can give me more details I can probably give you more help. I'm currently attempting to export from FileMaker 2.1 on the Mac to VFP 3.0 on a PC. It would be a piece of cake if the FileMaker database had been designed, rather than just allowed to proliferate!!! =:0

What I'm having to do is export subsets of of the data to TXT format and then rebuild it in VFP so as to get rid of the c**p that they've put in.
