Was the Excel sheet created in 2000 or 97? If it was created in 2000, then the machines with 97 on them could be trying to do some sort of import routine (y'know, no forward-compatibility :-) ).

>I have a Vfp application that loads an excel sheet into a cursor using ole automation. The excel sheet is rather large consisting of over 7000 rows (1.5 meg file). On the developtment computer it loads all the rows just fine but on other computers the app locks up before all the rows are loaded. Any ideas why? We have Vfp 6.0, the developtment computer has Office 2000 and the others have Office 97.
