Hi Lius,

Thats what I thought. My system is also later than Office95. At first I thought that the original question was looking for a workaround to export more than 16384 using XL5, but now that you've reminded me, I realize that maybe it might have been only because, as you point out, there is no 'later' copy to command in VFP6.
