Such a situation usually happens due to the way the tables(.dbf files) were created. If you want your .dbf tables to be converted easily they must be free, not constrained within a database.
Note: Regarding this problem please check the following details:
- if you choose directory with .dbf files and tables do not appear on Customization stage :
- tables do not belong to FoxPro environment
- other applications occupy the tables
- there is no additional files belong to the tables, for example files needed for memo fields in the table
- if you choose .dbc file as a source for conversion and tables do not appear on Customization stage:
- the 'lost' tables are not included into dbc file properly

I would appreciate some ideas on how to correct any of these problems. I have a single FoxPro table that I need to dump to SQL, and it doesn't show up. I am reading what is above, but I don't know what to do about it.
Hello James,
Firstly:
- please make sure that MS FoxPro Program itself and all programs related to MS FoxPro should be closed/disconnected.
-if you have a dbc file in this directory, you will need to make this table free from dbc file
You can also send us your source file for analyzing in our lab.
