For what it worth. I've recently completed a conversion job, converting filemaker files to xbase...(the real application is a clipper based application using xbase++ to create a "windows-like" application.) I use VFP to do the database conversion from filemaker to xbase dbf's. There was an option to export the data from filemaker to DBF format. Made the conversion fairly simple. anyway for what its worth.

>Just wondering if anyone knows of a white paper / comparison chart for VFP, Access and Filemaker.
