vb data to vfp

[mallee]

Does anyone know of a quick way or program to convert vb
.dat file to vfp or text ?

TIA

.DAT is not a standard data type, and VB has no standard data files. According to

http://www.wotsit.org/search.asp

.DAT files are either "MapInfo native data format" or "DataFlex 2.3b .DAT format".

Can you provide the actual structure of these files? Are they possibly CSV (Comma Separated) files, or SDF (System Data Format) files?

I need to convert from visual basic ver 6. The .dat file was
the largest file i found and i assumed it was the vb database. I guess the .mdb files are still used by vb. They
shouldn't be any problem.

Thanks for your answer.
