Currently I use Excel to export a spreadsheet to VFP DBF format that VFP can read. Then I read the imported VFP DBF file using a front-end program that I wrote which rewrites the records into a better field structure for reporting purposes.

My question is
Is there a command or set of commands that I can put in my front-end program that will do the Excel spreadsheet to VFP BDF file conversion automatically and save me that step or will the export from Excel to VFP always be a manual process?

Thanks for the help.
