>I am receiveing files that do not have the dbf extension. Is there a way to check to see if a file is a foxpro table or just a txt file?

Hi, Sandy

[Updated] DBF files should start with one of chr(3), [chr(131), chr(139) - not likely -] and chr(245). Also, position 29 (base 1) should be chr(0) or chr(1).
