Export to Excel

Postby tgault » Fri May 20, 2011 12:08 am

I have several Visual FoxPro DBF files that I am attempting to export to Excel. Some of them work but some files will hang at 100% and never actually export to Excel. At this point, I have to end the program through Task Manager. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this may be happening?

Hi, tgault! Thanks for your question.
Could you please attach this file? What's your OS and MS Office versions?
Feel free to ask a question - I'll try to help in anyway!

I figured out a workaround. I must first open the Visual FoxPro dbf file in DBF Commander. Next, go to File>Structure. Then, change the the File Type to dBase III plus. At that point, I can open the the dbf file directory from Excel.

Thanks for your response.

Yes, you're right. MS Excel support dBase 3+ and dBase4 DBF-formats, but doesn't supports Visual FoxPro DBF-format.
