I suppose you tried just putting the actual sheet name in quotes? I can tell you that the XL8 clause in vfp6 was never fully implemented, despite the documentation, not all features work, that could be the problem, also.

You could test it by saving as Excel5 ,then trying same command with TYPE XL5 to see if that works...
