>Whenever I export a file from VFP 9 application (either using EXPORT TO or Createobject("Excel.Application")) and then open the resulting Excel file, I get the message (as shown in the attached image). Then, when I click on Yes (that is to open it anyway), I don't seem to see any problems with the Excel file content?

For your info, I just tried it myself without any problem. Note that memo fields won't be exported this way:

Use xxxx.dbf
Export to d:\temp\test type xl5
