I'm not sure posting Epicor's dbf source code to this list is entirely
legal. The export utility generated source code posted on the list is
dependant on the structure of the vantage programs, and is cryptic at best.
http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~prvdam/white2.htm is what I used in the past for
creating.
However, this code doesn't create an index file, which is absolutely
necessary for linking two dbf's.
If you absolutely must use DBF files, then I'd recommend purchasing a third
party activex control from VBExtras or another vendor. However, I strongly
favor the use of CSV or XML files instead.

I thought you might be able to use a little more info. Go to
progress website and download the pdf called "Progress External
Program Interfaces" This give you information on how you can use 4GL
to access DLL function and how you use activeX to automate
application like ACCESS and EXCEL to import you data without adding
any manual steps.
