Mike,

Very nice trick!
However it will be DBF4 (.dbf) format, that Excel can recognize and translate upon opening. Also you will be able to use it as a regular table in foxpro.

>select Cursor
>Copy to "filename" XL5
>
>works but is limited to 16K records

>try this :
>
>Copy to "filename.xls" FOX2X
>
>will only be limited to the version of excel the user has.

>>Not quite clear, what do you mean "not converted properly", but try:
>>
>>copy field (field_date) to _excel xls, and
>>copy field (field_date) to _excel5 xl5
>>
>>to see the difference.

>>>Hey guys is there a way to export a cursor to the current version of XL. Eg. XL2000. Currently it exports it as XL2.1 and the dates are not converted properly.
