Not sure if this is correct area to post.

Is there any way or a utility available to convert a dbase for windows
database to dbase IV? For some reason in our Delphi 3 apps when dealing with
the dbase IV tables they will get converted to a dbase for windows table.
Not sure why. This happens very rare but does happen. Does anyone have any
ideas why and how this happens?

Thanks

There can be several reasons mostly having to do with the BDE 5.x.  I've
found that I had to use ftBCD fields instead of ftFloat fields and use
short integer fields instead of integer fields to remain in dBase level
5 tables rather than level 7 where the BDE would make them.  Also check
if you use a primary index which is not supported in the earlier dbase
level tables.
