Is it possible to change the header of a database (dbf) through the program developed in foxpro 2.6 (DOS).

Hi,

Yes, it is possible. You can open a dbf file using functions for low-level file manipulation: Fread, Fwrite, Fopen, Fclose and read it into a variable. Then make your changes and close the file.
