Hi Peter,
If all your fields are always character, then you can just manually set up a table and import the data (assuming that there are 3 fields to import):
select 0
create table ImportData (field1 C(80), field2 C(80), field3 C(80))
append from (getfile()) type delimited

If we were to introduce Visual FoxBase+, would we be able to work from the dotNet Prompt?
