"To export to"? Maybe it's little mistake of you, Marek? I think you wanted to type "to
export from Excel"

My sincere thanks to Marek for this coding.
And Alex thanks to you for the testing......its now VERIFIED & CERTIFIED BY ALEX!
Actually, my boss who wanted this kind of solution, has changed his mind and diverted me to a different task.
But this kind of routine was badly needed in our forum - as we've solutions for Dbf2Excel, and was lacking the reverse of it.....
Marek's routine will strenghten the package now with this Excel2Dbf facility.
Regards,
Swapan

Try to change some code in my app:
Code: Select all
#define CRLF Chr( 13 ) + Chr( 10 )
#include "minigui.ch"
PROCEDURE MAIN()
Hi Mol
Thanks for this program to convert excel file to DBF file.
Can you provide the sample of Excel and DBF files referred to in the program.
Thanks
