Hello, George.

I never meant to suggest it. I read that one and I know for sure you don't need it! That was addressed to Ronald, the original poster.

>Martin, if it (the conversion program) was written in Quick or QBasic, there's no need to fool around with the various conversion routines. All you'd have to do is a PRINT #filenum to a file to do the conversion. The output would then be in the desired format. It isn't a terribly difficult problem in that environment. If I had the file structure, I could probably write it in less than an hour.

I don't think it is so difficult. In all this years I have parsed files from a lot of other databases writing fox code. I even think that I already wrote the floating point functions (the integer ones for sure).

If I found it in the deep sea of my development server, I'll upload it here.

See you!
