Code Page conversion from Mac 1

[sermac]

Hi to VPF7 experts. . .
Beginner question. My brother uses "Filemaker" on his Apple and uses it as a "Rolodex" type program. He uploaded his contact table to me and I brought it using code page MacIntosh. . .(its grossly "un-normalized" with triplicates and quads etc, not even 1-n let alone 3-n).
My question is if I cleaned this up for him and turned it into a useful normalized Data .exe could his use it on his Apple?

Any feedback is deeply appreciated!
Thx
Bill

(. . .as you can tell I only use and develop within vfp windows enviroment for my own use and consequently haven't even gone thru the learning curve of building an .exe to be used in a windows enviroment.)

Only VFP3 was able to build an executable that would run on a Mac (and you needed VFP3 MAC-edition). No VFP can produce anything that will run on an Apple.

However, you may be able to produce a data file that could be opened by filemaker, or another DB program for apple... if nothing else, a .CSV (comma separated text values) should be interchangeable.
