Make a flat file (SDF Format?): Then u need to have foxpro.
Go to Foxpro and use this table: Do this
USE
COPY TO FLATFILE.TXT TYPE SDF
(You can try also without giving TYPE SDF).

This FLATFILE.TXT is the flat file you wanted.

If you don't have foxpro, then you can use MS Excel:
Open the XLS. Then click on File | Open.

Then in the file type option at the bottom of
the open dialog box, choose database files (*.dbf), then open ur data file.

Cheers,
Sujit

Hi Kim,
There are other ways, it is long since I have worked
on FoxPro. But I believe there are more complex ways.

Do you have any concern over the method I have told?
Don't have any reserves. Tell me if u face any trouble.
There is always a way out.

Cheers,
Sujit
