Simon,

The USE commnad would never convert Fox 2.x table to VFP format. The following action would covert table:
- Adding free table to a DBC
- Modifying table structure (interactivelly or with ALTER TABLE command) when VFP specific features used, like integer, datetime or money fields; nullable iields; e.t.c.
- COPY TO under VFP will create VFP table

Why do you want to convert them anyway?
