One way would be to then copy the csv to a memo field, replace the first line
with the field names you want, then "copy memo" memo field back to a csv file
the first like would be something like '"header i","header2","header3" '
or
You can use low level file manipulation to delete the first line and replace it
with your custom line.
I think this will work.

Subject: Creating SDF files with the database caption as header names
When I browse a table from a database with some user defined field names in
it I see long meaningful field names as headers but when I copy to file as
type CSV I get 10 character gobletty goop for field headers.
Is there a built in way to have VFP copy to a CSV file using the field
captions from the dictionary for field headers? If not - how do I
programatically access the captions to write my own?
Thanks in advance,
Joe
