>>We have an Excel 2007 spreadsheet that we need to turn into a cursor. Excel 2007 doesn't support Save As DBF anymore so I need a different solution. My first thought was to save it as an XML file and then use VFP to create a cursor. Accordingly I tried.......

=XMLTOCURSOR(GETFILE("xml"),"myCursor",512)

>>This "works" in the sense that a cursor gets created. Unfortunately the cursor contains the Document Properties (LastAuthor, Created, Lastsaved, Version, etc.)

>>Is there a way in Excel to Save as XML but without this information?
