hi,
thank you,
about.. I don't know how to do this with the "import" command ? as..

thisform.text1.value=GETFILE('xls')
IMPORT FROM (thisform.text1.value) TYPE XLS

this can be automated (Automation from VFP)&& no idea how i can do it?

i can do that as example under...,
but the number of fields and fields names not the same every time.

CREATE TABLE test
( Clint_no n(15)  ,name C(80) nocp, Tel C(10) nocp,category C(20)nocp, entity n(4) ,part2 c(2) nocp,dat d(8) )
APPEND FROM (thisform.text1.Value) TYPE xl5

thanks.
