I will do this task using Python. The final script will read the foxpro DB files automatically and it will create a Sqlite DB file (a single one). However if it is a requirement to create an Excel file it is possible also but not recomended due to the amount of records/data. One day for the first draft, a second day for review/changes with the project owner and a third day to deliver the final product (the merged data and the python source code).

Hello there - I am an Excel Genius so I can pull the data from the FoxPro files into Excel for you to process as you want. If you can provide details of what data you need from each file to be merged then I can mine that out and push it into a single Excel file. I will give you an Excel engine that will work through a folder of the source files and process them so you can run it when you need and modify it if your needs change ongoing. Happy to discuss and would like to take a look at the data prior to taking on the job - I like to make sure that I can deliver what you need, rather than say I can and then let you down. /RAL.

Hello, For this project I would build a Python script that would process all the databases and extract the required data. I would use the dbf module to read the data and the openpyxl module to write the result. If you have some sample files I could take a quick look at the data if you want. Best wishes, iticus
