In busienss consulting, I cannot remember ANYONE that didn't have excel installed. It is a no brainer expecting it in that this is a desktop environment and not a server based web farm.

The adventage of Vilhelm's method is that he manipulates the XLSX file without Excel (at least for reading, didn't test with writing)
Not needing Excel is really a Plus, because you need an Excel license in each machine that you need to use it, even if you only need an unattended server for automated conversion tasks.

Or learn how to manipulate Excel as a com object and have Excel bring in the data for you into the modern sheet format.
A for loop within a for loop to get rows and columns.

Good Morning,
Need to be able to copy the contents of a cursor to an Excel file,
but
it
needs to be in the xlsx.
Am a newbie to Excel Automation and have read that you can saveas,
and
it
will save in the latest format. Well mine doesn't. oworkbook.version shows 16. (we are running Office 365)
Tried the SweetPotato method but it errors out. Not sure why.
Would someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction, with some possible examples...
You can copy the contents of the cursor out to .xls only using the
standard COPY TO ... TYPE XL5 Then you can use automation to create an .XLSX file. I'm using office 365 but I am on version 15 so slightly older so you should be able to create an .XLSX file with your version.
#include include\excel.h TRUE=.T. FALSE=.F. oExcel = CREATEOBJECT('excel.application') oExcel.Workbooks.Open(myfile) cOutfile2 = 'myfilev2.xlsx' objexcel.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs(cOutfile2, xlOpenXMLWorkbook)
In excel.h xlOpenXMLWorkbook is 51
