sample databases

[patriciaanne]

Hi- I am putting together a class on importing and retrieving data through the use of Excel primarily. I am looking for some sample DBASE or FOXPRO databases that I can show my students how to import. Any idea on where to find some free sample files?
Thanks
Patricia

I'm sure there are some samples out there, but what I usually do is just create some samples in MS Access (or use some from an existing database that I have) & then export them to the needed format. (File, Export).

Then....viola....you have yourself a Dbase database. I'm not sure if you can export directly to a FoxPro db or not, but I know you can Dbase (.dbf) & Paradox (.db)

Just an idea... J. Jones
