Hi If you are struggling, DOS CA-Clipper used to ship with a utility called DBU to open dbase3 plus files. btw back in the old days, the message "not a dbf" was caused by us programmer types changing one of the first three bytes in the table, this meant it couldn't be opened by anything else and was part of the security I used to build in. I don't know if that is relevant.
Those were the days! G. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Hal Kaplan Sent: 26 September 2006 23:30 To: ProFox Email List Subject: DBase Plus I have a bunch of DBase Plus tables that I need to modify. The IDE that comes with DBase Plus is nowhere near the VFP IDE. What I would like to do is bring in the DBase Plus files to VFP, make the changes, and put the files back into the DBase Plus environment. Anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this? Also, pitfalls and best practices? Please?
