I stand corrected, Mike. I seem to recall this being in the help at some point but I can't tell you which version of VFP and I only have 9 installed on my system now. IAC, it doesn't seem to make much difference which Excel extension you use. You still end up with an Excel file circa 1995 which is why I typically stick to XLS if I'm not using automation.
