I ran a DBF
in the Protheus
and I am having difficulties to open the file in Visual Foxpro, as it does not recognize the file returning the message:
dbf file is not a table.
Has anyone been there or knows what version of DBF
that the Protheus
and Visual Foxpro work?
Thank you.
I’m pretty sure Protheus' DBF is purposely incompatible.

@bigown I think not...Protheus uses third-party libs (ace32.dll etc) for accessing dbf files. The company that originally owned the libs (Advantage Database Server) today belongs to SAP.

Make sure the created file is actually in DBF format. If you use localfiles=ctree, or the Advpl program itself uses another driver, it may write the file to disk with the DBF extension, but internally it is not a DBF.
