'XLS' is related to specific versions of Excel. I believe that 16,384 is a limitation of that version of Excel.

>I'm trying to 'Copy To/Export TYPE xls' a file that contains 33,000+ records. VFP5 stops exporting at 16,383 records. 'Copy To Delimited' copies all 33,000+ records. Any ideas as to why this isn't working?
