I am looking for help in converting .lk and .ov files into FoxPro 2.6 format. What, if possible, is the best way to accomplish this goal. I appreciate any help that may be provided.
I failed to mention that I do not have a copy of AREV. Is there any way to do this conversion without AREV software.

Andrew,
This post may be helpful to you.
However, unless you are prepared to handle multivalued fields this will be a tough challenge.

Well then I suppose that poses the question as to whether or not you have legal access to the data in the ARev files.
Supposing you do then Don has given you one solution and multivalue handling has been discussed previously. Do a search.
If you purchased the data from someone who presumably has ARev why not have them export it as a DBase file. The multivalued data can be put in memo fields (as with any datafield over 256 characters) and you can parse out the values with an XBase program.

As long as you don't need to normalize the multivalues…

We have a utility that normalizes multi-value fields and exports to a number of different data formats. It also has an auditor that checks the database and produces several different record layout definitions.
If you need help exporting your data, zip and send a copy, including the output specifications you need to mailto:chris@exorsys.com.
