Sergey, Dan,

I ended up trying a variety of methods. I ended up finding the Br4 utility at:

And I found a whole bunch of other utilities, which I have not yet tried at:

http://redstonesoftbase.com

The br4 has an old quirky dos interface, but I actually found it to be more flexible and powerful than the dbf viewer, which I also tried.

But, in the end I ended up using the dbase iv dbf odbc driver, with a dsnless connection, to do what I need to do, because I need to do it programmatically. I found it a little quirky to work with, I thought it would support some things that it didn't like the '$' operator, but I got it to do what I needed.

I think a combination of these methods and tools will be helpful, depending on what I need to do, whether one time fixes, or programmatic changes, since I now need to support the client on Goldmine.

Thanks to both of you for your help.

>>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.
