Check msKB #306022 (and mskb #306023 for C# version). You can transfer the data with or without excel installed. There is not something that exactly matches VFP's copy to ... xl5 but transferring with ADO.Net with an existing template file it's easy (that is you have a precreated and saved xls file with the layout of your table headers + row under it is defined with a name - you connect to this xls using Jet.Oledb driver).

I had read the old post and someone said MSKB #306022 talk about "export to excel"
How can I search this ?
Thanks
