Need Your Advice: Convert FoxPro to dBase tables

I need your advice. I need a (read cheap) tool that will reliably convert
FoxPro tables to dBase tables since the BDE native driver for FoxPro is said
to be used on for "read-only" access.

I've used Database Desktop to restructure the FoxPro files as dBase, but the
indexes (MDX) don't work properly once converted.

Any suggestions??

Re:Need Your Advice: Convert FoxPro to dBase tables

I know this will sound simplistic but have you tried a BatchMove?
It won't create the .mdx indexes but it will create a DBase table
structure and copy all of the data from your FOX tables to DBase (or
Paradox ) with fairly reliable data transliteration.
