Mike,
Not fixed and I think will never be (Never say Never < bg >)
Unless Excel automation is used fox side simple commands have disadvantages. CSV and Fox2x break the rowcount limit but still has spreadsheet rows limit. Fox2x truncates long fieldnames (BTW doesn't lack codepage conversion).
Both CSV and fox2x fail on transferring memo fields succesfully.
If you don't have memo fields and rowcount is under current limit (65535 - 1 header line) simpliest is CSV IMHO. In VFP5 you could use Fox2x or delimited file.
In FoxyClasses DBF2Excel solves the problem by extending rows to multiple sheets + uses ADO when necessary.
