thank you very much,
Something like this should work?of course it must:).

>>>Sorry, but I donæt have the time to give you the code. But the easiest is to read the data from the excel file into a temp cursor, and then append the data from the temp cursor into a table which you have already created with the correct structure. In semicode, which is NOT ment to work, only show you briefly:

>>>*Read the Excel file into the cursor curtemp && Change the code you already use
>>>Create table yourtable ... && With the structure you want
>>>Append from dbf('curtemp')

>>>Another approach is to use Afield() on the table, and then use Alter Table on each field which has a name beginning with q and whick is of type character.
