>Thanks John for your help! I am going apply it.
>This is a new problem: I have a file that contains up to 60,000 records and when I copy this file to an excel format with the COPY TO ... TYPE XLS the new file created has up to 16,000 records only trancating the rest.
>Is there any patch I need to know so foxpro works with the lates version of Excel?
