Hi Paul.

>Is there a way I can import Excel .xls files[later than version Excel 5.0] into Foxpro? I have some .xls files that have over 17,000 rows and the APPEND command cannot read these files.

In addition to Sergey's suggestion, you can also use the Excel ODBC driver and use SQLEXEC() to perform a SQL SELECT to a cursor which you can then process or COPY TO a table.
