One way would be to then copy the csv to a memo field, replace the first line with the field names you want, then "copy memo"  memo field back to a csv file

the first like would be something like '"header i","header2","header3" '

or

You can use low level file manipulation to delete the first line and replace it with your custom line.   

I think this will work.

Subject: Creating SDF files with the database caption as header names

When I browse a table from a database with some user defined field names in

it I see long meaningful field names as headers but when I copy to file as

type CSV I get 10 character gobletty goop for field headers.

Is there a built in way to have VFP copy to a CSV file using the field

captions from the dictionary for field headers?  If not - how do I

programatically access the captions to write my own?

Thanks in advance,

Joe
