Hi, Martin.

I think they are DBFs, in the same sense that a VFP report file is...
It's just that the extension is different...
for example,
MyFile.hdb
MyFile.blb

I can open MyFile.hdb as if it were a dbf
USE MyFile.hdb IN 0

However it doesn't know that MyFile.blb is it's memo file
I even tried renaming them to MyFile.dbf and MyFile.fpt

I know the data's there, I can see it when I open the file in notepad.
