--> Very old DAT file. Can I view? I don't know if this helps, but the DAT file is a pure dump of the data in the system. If all the fields are char, then you can just view the file with any editor, assuming you can either access the file now of ftp it onto your machine. The single .DAT file would need an accompanying .IDX file and lots of files beginning with SYSxxxx.DAT and SYSxxxx.idx for you to be able to use ODBC or SQL against it. Paul
