Thanks Emmrich,

May I jump in?

This code is QUITE HELPFUL since the COPY TO XLS command is now pretty dated:)

However it looks like there are still a few glitches within! MS Excel 2007 still refuses to use the code mentioned.

I still use a good old copy of MS Excel on my dev workstation (some clients still do as well). And have to rely on secondary machines for tests on newer versions of MS-Excel. And can test them all anyway. In this situation, ain't easy to amend the code here as MS-XML is complex and possibly touchy.

Should anyone have produced a generic "cursor-to-xlsx" that works straight accross all base VFP data type and carnations of XML-based MS-Excel, I'd be glad to hear.

Possibly Tamar (I remember your great VFP books that I read)?
