just does not work in VFP6. It may work some of the time, but it will crash.
Something seems a little odd here...when you say "crash," I assume you mean GPF? I've had the case where the Append From...an Excel97 file caused an error, but only a minor "Invalid..." error (and of course, that's not a good thing), but never a vfp wipeout. Is a GPF what you mean?
