Can you step through the table and copy each record? Something like:

SET SAFETY OFF
CREATE TABLE foxtest (ca c(10), cb c(10), cc c(10))
PRIVATE icounter
FOR icounter = 1 TO 1000
    sele foxtest
    APPEND BLANK
    REPLACE ca WITH "a" + ALLTRIM(STR(icounter))
    REPLACE cb WITH "b" + ALLTRIM(STR(icounter))
    REPLACE cc WITH "c" + alltrim(STR(icounter))
    icounter = icounter + 1
ENDFOR

RELEASE oExcel
lcXLSFile = 'foxtest'
lcXLSFile = ForceExt(lcXLSFile, "XLS")

lcRange = "a1:c1000"
oExcel = CREATEOBJECT("excel.application")
WITH oExcel
   .WorkBooks.add()
   WITH .ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.RANGE(lcRange)
     FOR ix = 1 TO RECCOUNT('foxtest')
         GOTO ix
         .cells(ix,1) = foxtest.ca
         .cells(ix,2) = foxtest.cb
         .cells(ix,3) = foxtest.cc 
     ENDFOR
   ENDWITH
   .save(lcXLSFile)
ENDWITH

USE IN foxtest
oExcel.quit()
