>>Hi all,
>>I work for a direct mailing company currently using FPW2.6. We run a lot of tables through First Logic's Postal Soft software, ACE; Merge/Purge; Presort. Is there anyone else using this software with VFP? I'd like to get out of the past and start using newer software.
>>
>>My boss says that Post Soft doesn't like the format of the VFP tables and so we can't update. Does anyone know if this is a fact or do I have to continue to live in a time warp?
>>
>>Is there a way to SIMPLY convert a table from VFP to FPW format?
>>
>>TIA

>For the last part of your question you can continue to use fox2x tables in VFP. There are only few issues that you shouldn't attempt to do to prevent a conversion to VFP format.

>copy to myTableAsFox2x type fox2x

In last option you should be carefull using fieldnames in short (fox2x style) format - 10 chars max.
