CREATE TABLE ala ;
(telno c(6) , ;
nom C(20))

THISFORM.text1.value=GETFILE("XLS","Select File")

SELECT ala
lcCommand="APPEND FROM '"+THISFORM.text1.value"' TYPE XLS"
&lcCommand

The single quote marks allow VFP to cope with spaces in file and folder names.

There are other ways of doing this, but I find this easy to read and reliable.



Hope this is what you want
