>The solution I gave using DOM takes care of all characters. You also have to consider any character greater than 128 ASCII. I found that it became a problem of trying to use native VFP code to do this and open for missing characters. This was for the class I wrote for creating an XLSX file from tables and providing formatting. Using DOM method takes care of all...
I did try your DOM approach but it didn't work for me. It could be that I didn't do something correctly. I will try it again.
