How can I convert an ISAM-database to vfp-dbf.

[manfrid]

I am getting some ISAM-files, I want to convert them to dbf.
I dont need to update or change these ISAMs.
Thank you for any help or idea.

What are these ISAM files? What format? What software was used to produce them?

Some ISAM tables are accessible via ODBC and others might not be.

I have encountered one commercial accounting program which the vendor told me was using ISAM tables. The ISAM ODBC driver wouldn't work on it. When I asked the vendor they said "We neglected to tell you that it is protected and you can't get into it."

Good Luck,

A table consists of 3 files: x.ISD, x.ISK, x.ISM
I think it is some kind of old IBM-data system ?

Manfrid,

Still need more information.

Where do these files come from? Can you get any info from the people who you got them from?
