How do I save DBase IV files in Excel 7.0?

[Guest]

I understand the function to save files as with dbf extension went away in
Excel 7.0? Does anyone have a workaround? The solution can not be utilizing
Access as many our my users do not have this software. Thanks.

Do you mean Excel 2007? If so, this is a deprecated feature. See here for

Yes, I do mean Excel 2007. Thanks for the link to this info. Unfortunately
we still have a need to create DBaseIV files. Any direction on how we should
proceed or what we should look workaround this solution? Do we purchase a
convertor?

I haven't heard of any plans for a converter. I suppose if the market
demands it someone will create one.

You might see if Conversions Plus (

need.

I hope MS considers your needs. We need to save as we always have, in .DBF
for dBase IV, for dBase III, and for FoxPro - a Microsoft product!

Until this is restored, we cannot recommend that our users (thousands of
them) upgrade to Office 2007. It's a pity something so trivial to MS went
unresearched.

Here's my workaround: more a pain and waste of time, but easy.

save the Excel 2007 file as normally.
Open the file in Access 2007.

Use the export data feature of Access 2007, and chose type .dbf

Works fine for me. I really don't like that Microsoft has removed this
feature, as I used it many times a day. Now I have to waste an extra minute
going through Access. What a PAIN!
