Haaallp! DBF Exports: Auto-Stuffing Zeros

I have two problems.

The first problem is that I have a set of Numeric Filemaker fields that, when I export records to a DBF format, zeros are entered into any field that is empty. I need them to stay blank. Is there some setting that prevents zeros from being entered when using a DBF?

My second problem is that I am trying to export a DBF file from which Visual FoxPro can read a logical field from. I tried filling with ".F." and ".T." but the FoxPro app sees it as a Char(3) field, not as a logical. Is there any way to flag a Filemaker field to be exported as a "true" logical ?
