Very few other dBASE users will still be using Windows 8 so you may not get any help on this. The offer of a free upgrade to Windows 10 expired some time ago but apparently it is still possible. https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2020/02/04/how-to-upgrade-to-windows-10-for-free-in-2020/#61bd4de875ff Exportdata.wfm is useful for "once off" exports where you need to select different fields each time.  If you regularly export the same data it is better to write your own export program.   If you need help with this give details of the tables and fields involved and the format you export to.
