lcFile = GETFILE("xls*")
TRY
     IMPORT FROM (lcFile) XLS
CATCH
    ** catch block assumes you're trying to import XLSX file so it opens it and then saves it as XLS 
ENDTRY

When I execute the IMPORT command VFP simply exits. No error messages. No CATCH commands. No "Send to Microsoft". No nothing.

I'm sure it has something to do with the spreadsheet and I think it has to do with the spreadsheet having macros in it.

Can somebody please enlighten me about conditions which could cause this kind of behavior?

Thanks to all.........Rich
