David,

Actually, I think Goldmine 6 uses Dbase V. You can create an ODBC connections to the Goldmine data and then access it with a remote view in VFP. It works, but is a little slow.

Another option is to import or export the data to/from Access. I've used this when I wanted to dump a lot of records in a Goldmine table. Imported the Goldmine file into Access. Export to VFP. Do what I need to do in VFP. Import VFP into Access. Export to DBase V. Reindex in GOldmine.


>I have a client who is using Goldmine Contact manager version 6. It uses DBF's but they appear to be DBASE 4 dbfs and indexes. I don't have a copy of dbase 4. Someone told me that there is a utility called BR4 that will let me manipulate dbase 4 data. When I open it in VFP, VFP wants to convert it, i.e. the dbf and/or the indexes.
