Vlad,

Sounds like that's needed. Is it pure VFP code or some exernal code? Can you send it to my work address (nnosonov@thewarrengroup.com), because I need it quickly.

There are 3 sets of delimiters that assure that in case delimiter character appears in the field content, another delimiter is used and another TXT file is created. The program is tested as part of the process for transferring data to SQL Server.
