VFP versions have some limitations with type xls,xl5 (xls is worse - version 2.0).
Solution is not to use xl* but something like csv,dbf or automation.
CSV and Fox2x dbf are natively recognizable by excel. ie:

copy to myFile.csv type csv
copy to myFile.dbf type fox2x

Automation approach is more trustable and you can either provide a live data or snapshot (as does copy to) to excel including memo fields, reccount over 64K excel row limit (good for Pivot tables). ie: A snapshot version (ODBC or OLEDB is fine):

Local oRS as AdoDB.Recordset,oRS2 as AdoDB.Recordset,oCon as AdoDB.Connection
oCon = CreateObject('ADODB.connection')
oCon.ConnectionString = "Provider=VFPOLEDB;Data Source="+_samples+"data\testdata.dbc"
oCon.Open
oRS = oCon.Execute('select * from employee')
oRs.Save('disconnectme.rst')

oRS2 = CreateObject('ADODB.Recordset')
oRs2.Open('disconnectme.rst')

oExcel = Createobject('Excel.Application')
With oExcel
  .Workbooks.Add
  .Visible = .T.
  .ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add( oRS2, .Range("A1")).Refresh
Endwith
Erase 'disconnectme.rst'
