Hi,
Mail merge wizard would do this. But if you want an exe for any dbf you can do it in many ways, here is one :

function exportascii
parameters cTableName, cFieldList && Comma delimited field list - if you want filtering you could add another parm.
if !used(cTableName)
use (cTableName) in 0
endif
select (cTableName)
copy to TempTxt fields &cFieldList type delimited
handle=fcreate(cTableName+".txt")
handle1=fopen("TempTxt.txt")
=fputs(handle1, CfieldList) && If headers need quotes handle it too
do while !feof(handle1)
=fputs(handle,fgets(handle1,65535),65535)
enddo
=fclose(handle)
=fclose(handle1)
erase TempTxt.txt
