Bob, Is it an actual Foxpro Database, which is a container for Foxpro tables, views, triggers and stored proceedures, or is it just a DBF table? If it is just a table how many records are in it? Believe it or not, OpenOffice has a nice built in odbc DBF connection. All you have to do is create folder to contain dbf tables or point to a directory which contains them. You can use Access-like query makers to generate queries that can select records, and you can create forms with data-aware controls on them to display, edit, add and delete records! -- JLK
