Try something similar to this:

LcFlSrcXls="c:\book1.xls"
import from (LcFlSrcXls) xls

alter table book1 alter column (field(1)) M

oleapp = CREATEOBJECT("Excel.Application")
OleApp.DisplayAlerts = .f.
=oleapp.Workbooks.Open(LcFlSrcXls)

sele book1
iscan=0
scan
	iscan=iscan+1
	replace (field(1)) with oleapp.ActiveSheet.Range("A"+alltr(str(iscan))).Text
endscan

oleapp.Workbooks.Close
OleApp.Quit
RELEASE oleapp
