Has anyone seen a workaround for this? I have 38k rows to spit out into a .xls and VFP is hurting me. Worse, the MSKB article only references VFP3...



>>I've just discovered (the hard way) that COPY TO TYPE XL5 seems to be limited to 16383 records. BTW, EXPORT TO has the same limitation. I can't find any documentation confirming this behavior. The tricky thing is that VFP doesn't return any error. It simply stops copying after 16383 records...
