sands, comma delimited text (or tab delimited) will do for all of them, unless the dbase app does not have import facility, in which case you could structure up the data into genereic dbase format yourself, its a fairly simple format, a header with info about fieldnames, sizes and types, followed by fixed length records thereafter. Stick with an old format, such as dBase3 or 4 formats with no index or mdx files associated with same. dbase was the best thing since sliced bread for years, but it is a little dated these days, maybe you can charge em more by offering to upgrade them to MySQL / PHP intranet!!
