** In Feb 2005, client upgraded to Office 2003 ** Since then we are unable to import their data ** Here we open that xls file and save it as another ** file - that seems to work - don't know why... ** first we check to see if this file is already imported lcImportFile = "\\svrlr02\ftp\users\Client\" + trim(laImpClientFiles[i,1]) lcImportFile2 = "W:\microcomp\import\Client\" + trim(laImpClientFiles[i,1]) lcImportBakFile = "W:\microcomp\import\Client\Bak\" + ALLTRIM(STRTRAN(UPPER(laImpClientFiles[i,1]), "XLS", "BAK")) IF !FILE(lcImportBakFile) loExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application") loWorkbook = loExcel.Workbooks.Open(lcImportFile) loWorkbook.SaveAs(lcImportFile2) loworkbook.close RELEASE loExcel ENDIF DELETE FILE(lcImportFile)Hope that helps...
