>>I'm having trouble using the IMPORT command in VFP9 to load Excel 2007 files. I'm not surprised that the .XLSX extension files fail, but even files saved in newer formats than 5.0/95 seem to fail if they were created by Excel 2007.

>>- Manually using SaveAs
>>- Automation: SaveAs
>>- Automation: Cell by Cell access

>>Others?
