Randy,
The VFP tables you are trying to will have to be part of a DBC if any of the column names have more than 10 characters.
I don't use access enough to know it that well, but it sounds like it access is allowing some characters in the field names that aren't allowed in VFP. You should pick debug where the error pops up and examine what is happening on the line of code. If you can give us the actual line of code and the values we can probably help you isolate the root issue. If it's a disallowed character a simple chrtran() added to the code can solve it. It might also be a field type problem. Why not post the access table definition that is erroring out.
>I'm trying to convert a access 2000 database into a vfp dbc. There are tons of tables and I don't want to do it manually because from Access it will only let me create free dbf files so the field names and everything get truncated to 10 characters. I tried using the MDB2DBC program but it keeps crashing on certain tables. Anybody else use any utilites similar to this that works great?
