dbf export

[Matthew Harting]

I need to export some data form D3 to a dbf file. Does anyone know where I
can find the specs for creating dbf files? Currently, we are creating a text
file and using Excel to convert to to dbf format by hand. We would like to
automate this and eliminate the text file step.

Thanks.

Matt -

The specs can be found at:

http://www.wotsit.org/

but you might want to consider using the CONVERT.EXE program by Bruce
Guthrie (http://www.erols.com/waynesof) - it's free, fairly easy to
configer and it seems to work fine for the XBASE-type files (that's
what a .dbf file is)

Matt:
The Viaduct terminal emulator has an import function for File Transfers to
various formats including .dbf . I assume that Accuterm and the other
terminal emulators have this function as well.

If you have access to perl (linux has it automatically) you can use
cpan modules to gain direct access to xbase files. I used this years
ago to both read and write to dbase files that were concurrently being
used by foxpro.
