Hi,

I am importing data from an excel into a DBF (using VFPxWorkBookXLSX.VCT). A column that has in some rows value that looks like DateTime. In some other rows it looks empty. When I look at the value retrieved from an empty cell it shows (in Messagebox) as "12/30/1899". Is this how Excel - internally keeps the DateTime but shows empty?

TIA
