SYMPTOMS

Visual FoxPro 6.0 adds support for a new file format called Comma Separated Value (CSV). The IMPORT and EXPORT commands do not support this new file format. You also notice that this file type is missing from the Import and Export Wizards.

RESOLUTION

Use the APPEND FROM and COPY TO commands in place of the IMPORT and EXPORT commands.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

From the File menu, choose Import.
Examine the list of available Types.

There is no option available for the CSV file type.
