I have tried the sweet potato solution and came across numerous problems
In the end I had to tell my client to please SAVE AS to a CSV file and then
I import
I tried a routine of auto-converting the s/sheet to a different format
oExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
oWorkbook = oExcel.Workbooks.Open("&mx")
*nFileFormat = oWorkbook.FileFormat && Find out what file type source is
*?nFileFormat && display results
IF FILE("convertedmx.xls")
DELETE file convertedmx.xls
endif
newfile=SYS(5)+CURDIR()+"convertedmx"
oWorkbook.SaveAs('&newfile',39)
oExcel.quit()
That often resulted in a completely frozen pc
Hope this helps
