Need Foxpro conversion program.

I am looking for a Foxpro conversion program that will convert information from Foxpro to Access or a time and billing program.
 
John Koziol recently posted two new utilities on the UT ( DBC2MDB and MDB2DBC.

"The first app migrates a VFP database, it's tables, and it's data to a new or existing Access database; the second migrates an Access database, it's tables, and it's data to a new or existing VFP database.

So far, only table structures and user data are supported.

These two apps will be eventually combined into a much more comprehensive and robust migration utility to move data and structures back and forth to and from VFP and Access, so I'd like to see as much commentary as possible on how these initial two apps work.

Thanks!

John

Just import the data from FoxPro into an Access table.

From Access, using an open database, click on File, Get External Data and Import. The import wizard comes up and then you follow the prompts.

Going along with Mike, I do a lot of imports. It works fine.

I also have much more control over what I am doing.
 
Just another angle. FoxPro is ODBC compliant. Load the ODBC drivers and access the FoxPro tables from Access and copy the infor you need to a Access table. David W. Grewe
