>Oh and yes, I do know that the dBASE formats "work" for Fox but my point is why is it not listed?

Excellent point, and one I have been upset by as well, since I have to instruct every user exporting to vfp tables on how to do it and the "why isn't vfp there" comes up often. There isn't any Dbase used anywhere in my agency, to add insult to injury.

Anyone out there from MS who can reply on this?
