Convert VistaDB to dBase

Full Convert is designed for ease of use and reliability to make sure you get your job done as quickly and as simply as possible.

Making migration easy for you

Full Convert is a fully self-tuning software. Your migration will work as expected without you needing to adjust anything.

  • binary varbinary(4) (if version is vfp)
  • bit logical(1)
  • datetime date(8) (if version is 3)
  • datetime2 date(8) (if version is 3)
