If you were only going to export one file it would be fairly simple to   write a program to do this.  Making a program "universal" is a bit more   work as one has to determine, on a field by field basis, whether the   contents of the field needs to be delimited or not.  One also needs to   decide how to handle date fields.  Using the COPY TO ... DELIMITED dBASE   exports dates as yyyymmdd whereas Excel expects separators mm/dd/yyyy. If you have dBASE Plus available usvout.prg in the dUFLP will do the job.   If you don't it means writing a program in dBASE IV.  If you need ideas   just ask. As an alterntive, Mike Rozlog's suggestion of using dbExport is a very   good one.  At US$20 (and I believe they have a 15day money back policy if   it doesn't work) it's good value if you consider the cost of the time to   write and debug your own program. Mervyn.
