Default dbase 3 plus - 01-11-2009 , 08:21 PM






can anybody help me to convert an excell worksheet into a dbf file for
use in the old dbase 3 plus
I still use this program after 25 years as i find it simple basic and
down to earth just what i need all the latest stuff just confuse
everything
until now i have done stuff in a worksheet and then printed it and had
someone capture onto dbase but unfortunately that person has moved on
and i now have to get the data in as i have left it a bit late with
the xmas season and all

use the export to to save as some sort of space or comma-delimited file
and load that into dbase.

Better yet do a file save as - my version of excel (2000) supports dbase3
exports.
