 Indeed it can.  This is the program I had in mind when I mentioned "code
 in the dUFLP" in my fist message.  It handles changing the separator,
 includes memo fields, excludes _dbaselock fields as well as OLR and
 BINARY fields and can include fieldnames as the first record of the
 output file.   The only thing it can't do (at the moment :-) ) is change
 the delimiter.
 
 As Tom is happy with the yyyymmdd date format in the output file all it
 needs is possibly a slight change to invoke a different delimiter and a
 simple wrapper to accept a .dbf name so that it can create a rowset to
 pass to usvout.prg.
 
 If the daily .dbf is named using a recognisable pattern it will be easy
 enough to check if a similar output file has been produced and, if not,
 to create it.
 
 Mervyn.
