Hello,

I'm a novice user and first time poster looking for help converting XLS or
XLSX to DBF. I have FME 2012 SP1 installed on Win7 64bit.

My PC doesn't have Excel installed, so I thought that I could just install
the *AccessDatabaseEngine.exe at *http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23734.

When I create the workbench and run the transformation, I get an error and
an empty table.

Anyone know a fix for this?

Thanks in advance,

James Juniper

Without knowing anything about the 'AccessDatabaseEngine.exe' I would say
you are running into license issues.

FME will translate a .XLS file without having Excel installed, but it will
not translate a .XLSX file without Excel installed.  I believe this has to
do with .xls being more of a standard, where as Microsoft has not made
.xlsx a standard (yet?).  I could be offbase on the reasoning, but I know I
have run into the issue of not having Excel installed and so not being able
to do anything with a .xlsx file, but once downgraded to .xls it works fine.

The other issue you might want to look for is spaces in your tab/page
names, I believe, and this might have been fixed, that FME does not like
spaces in a tab/page name or filename for .xls files.

Cheers,
