Hi Sergey.
I tried Type Xl5...does not work on IPhone
Also tried renaming to XLSX no joy.
I was trying to avoid using Automation as files could be generated on a server or a pc without Excel.
Are there any VFP utilities around which create XL files without automation ?
I've used one in .net which creates files fine without requiring Excel to be present.

Regards,
Gerard
