dBase Table Splitter  
Description:  This utility allows you to split a dBase table with several fields down into smaller tables. Some applications that use the BDE dbi APIs, Codebase, or other dBase engines, will allow a dBase table to contain more than 255 fields. This causes a problem when trying to read the table from applications that use BDE via a Delphi layer, the Microsoft dBase Driver, or even via your own application using ADO.

dBase Table Splitter

This utility allows you to split a dBase table with several fields down into smaller tables. Some applications that use the BDE dbi APIs, Codebase, or other dBase engines, will allow a dBase table to contain more than 255 fields. This causes a problem when trying to read the table from applications that use BDE via a Delphi layer, the Microsoft dBase Driver, or even via your own application using ADO. You'll find that many times the Contact2 table from GoldMine will fall into this category. Too many fields/columns. Not even SQL DTS will be able to read it. This utility will split the columns in the table into seperate tables in an Access database and copy to each table the primary ID field from the original dBase table.

Here is a screenshot:
