The easiest way is to have your friend save the file in .DBF format. PCFile can read it easily - and he can read any changes you make into MSWORKS by importing the .dbf. ( MSWORKS can save in lots of formats, including STANDARD dBase III). Why don't people just use STANDARD formats, anyway ? Create it in whatever MS GUI-gizmo you want, but save it in something everyone can read... - John T. -- Arachne V1.44;beta, NON-COMMERCIAL version, http://home.arachne.cz/ To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
