Hi Jos,

Here's one record from the dat file.
99992288790000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000995000995REGNYNNNNYNREG

I was successful in importing this into a one column dbf using the import from wizard, but want to automate the process using code.

1. I need to download the dat file every night from a ftp site.
2. The data then needs to be parsed and inserted into a vfp table.

Do you know of a way to schedule the download of a ftp file and then run the VFP code to parse the data?

Best regards,
Rixon
