Hi Cetin.

Yes, I know Clipper reads Dbase dbf's. I could just as well create a dbf and put the info in fields, but the other guy wants a .txt file, with the info as a string, with carriage returns between fields. Which is the raw format of the data from a blood testing apparatus. I was hoping someone with Clipper experience could set the issue straight - the other guy is a type that I don't particularly care for arguing with..

Anyway, he has suggested that I remove some of the info that he doesn't need - I just think the problem rightly belongs in his ballpark and I would like to be able to tell him so.

Hope to hear from you again when I might have a real problem.
