Ok, I'm pretty frustrated with attempting to IMPORT a large Excel spreadsheet into a table.

[[Side Note: WHY does VFP 6.0 still have "Excel 5.0" as the latest version of Excel in it's list of import types -- Geez!]]

I have tried every way to import all the data from a 62 Column by 75640 Row spreadsheet into a table, including the IMPORT command, the import dialog in VFP, "Save As" from Excel into a .DBF (again OLD DBase versions), and I either only get a little more than 16,000 records or I get all the records, but NOT all the columns. DAMN FRUSTRATING for working with the newest version of VFP and the newest version of Excel.

[[Side Note #2: MY VFP 7.0 "wish list item" ... FIX THIS!!!]]

Anyway, so I guess I have to resort to Automation. I can instantiate Excel and open the file, but can someone tell me how to pull in EVERY row and column which contains data from the spreadsheet into a table.

Thanks.
