Jeff, This has happened from time to time with a few of our clients. The XL5 was created from Office 2010 and saved as an older version. The older version of Excel will open it, the import process fails. Sometimes, when VFP is closed by the OS, an error file created where the runtime file exists. Most of the time that I've seen one of those, it points to the READ EVENTS line. Which suggests an error occurred in an event routine with an ActiveX control on a form. Sometimes it has pointed me to an exact line of code.
