Hi David,

Why would you have to have that intermediate step? While I haven't tried it, I don't see why you couldn't directly import using the Word Tables and Cells collections. Something like......

USE mytable
oWord=CREATEOBJECT("Word.Application")
oWord.Documents.Open("Mydocument.doc")
oDoc=oWord.ActiveDocument
WITH oDoc.Tables(1)
   FOR i = 1 TO .Rows.Count
      INSERT INTO mytable (field1,field2,field2) ;
                   VALUES (.Cell(i,1).Range.Text,;
                           .Cell(i,2).Range.Text,;
                           .Cell(i,3).Range.Text)
   ENDFOR
ENDWITH

ENDWITH
