>I know this is a known issue, I just can't seem to find the fix. I've been hunting the net and come up empty. I have a standard .prg file that I add to any of our applications when I need to import data from Excel. Below is all the code that I use to convert the file into a cursor.

>* Store the current SAFETY setting of the program.
>lcSafety = SET("SAFETY")
>* Turn off the SAFETY to avoid VFP validation.
>NOTE: Will NOT avoid 'Excel' validation. ( Done just below )
>SET SAFETY OFF
>* This will be the name of the Temp 'XLS' file that will be created
>loTempExcelFile = "C:\temp\NewImport.xls"
