To have compatible DBF working in both, FPD and VFP, you need to keep the table structure acceptable for FPD. On this way you will loose some advantages of VFP database management.
To create a FPD_dbf in VFP you may use:

create curs tmpcurs (...
copy to (table_name) Fox2X

>Previously I use Clipper program to develope system in my company and I manipulate the tables in Foxpro for DOS and now I'm using VFP since I'm still using the same tables so I just copy it. This does not happend if I create the tables in VFP, it'll give an error 'not a database table' if I open it in Foxpro for DOS.
