Just converted to Windows 7. My Excel spreadsheet .xls can't "save as DBF4"
I was using Windows XP and had no problems. Help please.

Mary,
This has nothing to do with your version of Windows but with your version of
Office (the two are not related)
A Google search with "excel DBF converter" go many hits
best wishes

Hi there,

just wanted to let you know that I released a new version of the add-
in that enables saving a DBF file in Excel 2007.

New features:

1. Now you can add/insert new fields, create calculated fields in
addition to adding new records or editing existing records in your
native DBF file!

2. If you start with an Excel file the software now have enhanced
capabilities to determine the field types (better than Microsoft's own
in earlier Excel versions).

3. The add-in checks DBase field naming conventions and also
identifies duplicate fields. All problem field names are visually
identified with a cell comment!

4. If you start out with a brand new file and forget to save it, the
add-in will ask before the conversion.

5. Large files are supported. I edited files over 500,000 records with
no problem.
