>VFP IMPORT command does not work with Excel 2007 and later. See Microsoft Visual FoxPro fails to import Microsoft Excel 2007 Workbook saved in "Excel 97-2003 Workbook" format.

Thanks Sergey...I've been importing Excel 2007 for years, by detecting that VFP can't handle it, than saving it to an Excel file of an earlier version...I CAN IMPORT and can deal w/the data, it's just that wiered column naming...in the source Excel file the columns are named ....DU, DV, DW.
