Jag,

I'm not sure what I did that deserved "thanks"...But, thanks for the thanks.

Also, to what do we Oracle-ites deserve the pleasure of a FoxPro-to-MySQL question? We are honoured that you would come to us first.

Quick answer: At the very worst case, you can always create ".csv" (Comma-separated value) files from FoxPro that you should be able to read into MySQL. Alternatively, both database engines should be ODBC (Open-database Connectivity)-compliant, allowing you to communicate between the two.

But your best answers will probably come from posts on the FoxPro Forum (

or the MySQL Forum (

or both.
