Hi All,

I am using office 2003, and would like to know is there a
way to updata a Foxpro 20.5 (dos vwersion) file from XL?

Whenever i try to open DBF file and copy the data from XL
to DBF and save it says some features may not
available... do you want to keep the format... and when i
press yes it closes. when i reopen the file actually the
new data is not saved.

is there a way to update foxpro dbf directly from XL or
copy and paste method?

TIA
Soniya
 
In Excel, you have to look in Insert=>Name=>Define and find the name
database. Redefine the name to refer to all your data - when you save it
back as a dbf, only the area defined by Database is saved - this is your
problem if you have added records. If you have modified existing records,
those changes should have been saved.
