After a couple of tests, I felt it could it had enough technical merits to justify a post and a "call for experience" in this very field (MS-Excel import/export for unattended servers and other demanding apps) . It curiously did not really generate what was intended. It does demonstrate that, although it ain't no stackoverflow, the VFP part of the UT is still alive and somewhat "kicking":)

Well, based on your thread title, you were looking for something very specific. Me, posting a message saying "I haven't used it" wouldn't be terribly helpful either :) Bumping your own messages doesn't happen here very often.

A lot of people here seem to like helping. If they can't answer your question directly, maybe something tangential can help.
