If Foxpro is ODBC compliant, why not just do it that way ?

It is useless to start a new topic for this, continue on the previous one.

You got an excellent answer from Marc, does Foxpro support ODBC?

How could we know if you don't tell us?

Good this was the question, you should tell us in the topic we asked you and not starting a nex topic.

By the way, your product is forpro, fropxo or foxpro?

If Foxpro is ODBC compliant then you can programmatically connect to Foxpro and Oracle and move your data.

Does foxpro has a programming language? If so post your question in a foxpro forum.
If not what programming do you use?

So create a fowpro program that read these files, connect through ODBC to Oracle and insert the data into Oracle table.

You know foxpro language, I don't know it.
If you don't know how to do the previous plan, ask in a Foxpro forum.
