>How do you use the wizard to import Dates from Excel? I have copied the EXCEL Date column and formated it to one of each of the following: Text, Date, Numeric and imported them using the Import Wizard. The ECEL date of 09/06/02 comes into VFP as 08/22/02 as an example no matter what I do. What is the secret?

You could try APPEND FROM ... TYPE XL5 instead.
