What problems did you have? It has always worked for me.
Then I came across Jun Tangunan's solution
create cursor junk (name c(10), age i, address c(20))
local lcfile
lcfile = getfile("xlsx")
loexcel = createobject("excel.application")
This depends on Excel being installed on the target machine. Albeit
Craig's solution requires the OLE stuff be installed, at least that's a
free install.
loexcel.workbooks.open(lcfile)
loexcel.activeworkbook.saveas("c:\test.xls",39)
loexcel.activewindow.close(.t.)
loexcel.quit
append from c:\test.xls type xls && or xl5
browse normal
close databases all
This seems to work for me, every time
It would fail on spreadsheets bigger than the 65,000 odd rows that was
the limit in older versions.
