Hussain - One thing to be aware in generating text files from FoxPro is that Microsoft tends to be inconsistent with delimiters. Sometimes it thinks it needs a delimiter, and sometimes it doesn't write a delimiter. Inconsistency is hard to deal with. Often I find it is easier to deal with fixed-format files (sdf format).

I did it 4 years ago for FoxPro 2.6 for DOS and that still works there. I know you may do it directly from dbf's but this is not so straightforward.
