I am having a little problem with converting an Excel spreadsheet file to VFP table(s).

The XLS file has many worksheets and I want to convert each worksheet into a separate table. I created a database named MyDatabase. Then I issue the following command:
import from MyXls xls database MyDatabase name MyTable sheet "MySheet1"
What happens is I get a prompt if I want to overwrite table name MyXls. As if no matter what I specify in the Name parameter, VFP tries to import the data into the same name. What am I missing?

Thank you.
