I have Pervasive.SQL V8, but can hardly be considered an experienced user.
I need a text version of the field names and other information, in a form
that I can copy into notepad or Word. Is this possible? I cannot highlight
and copy the text in the "Table Designer" window. I also posted this query
in the Pervasive Support Forum, so please excuse the redundancy - I'm not
sure the same viewers all follow both. TIA, Paul

Go to www.goldstarsoftware.com/download.asp and grab the FPrint
utility. The free version here is a bit older, but it will work for
dumping the DDF's from most older apps. If you need the new, improved,
Win32 version, it'll cost you a few bucks, but this might be worthwhile
as well.
