>I am attempting to import data from an Excel 95 file using the APPEND FROM .. TYPE XL5 command in VFP 5.0. Everything works fine except dates, which are empty fields in the VFP table. Any ideas how to easliy get around this?


OK..I got this to work. The trick was the formatting in Excel. When the column was formatted as 03/04/97 it didn't work. When formatted as 3/4/97 it did work.
