>DBF files used to be a viable option for bulk transfer to Excel, i.e. transfer a large amount of data without the slow speed of setting each cell individually. The bulk transfer might be the first step; later, the Excel file is formatted with additional commands (e.g., column width, numeric format for individual columns, inserting additional header rows).

>Now, it seems that the DBF format is no longer supported by Excel 2007, so this can be a problem. What would be the recommended method for a bulk transfer from Visual FoxPro? Some other file format? Clipboard? Preferably a method that would work both with Excel 2003 and Excel 2007!
