If CSV is acceptable to you, you may try the CSVProcessor class at VFPX.

m.CSV = CREATEOBJECT("CSVProcessor") m.CSV.Export("output.csv")

Whatever memo fields are on your table, they will be exported, as well.

You may also consider using one of the XLSX classes available at VFPX.

Hello:

  I am having to do a bunch of data export so have had a closer

look at the commands.

1. I am wondering if there is a difference between

<vfp> COPY TO ... TYPE ... </vfp> and <vfp> EXPORT TO ... TYPE ... </vfp> where the type is XLS or XL5.

2. I know that memo columns are not exported so for tables with

them, I am creating a cursor with the memo columns replaced with C(254) columns. In a few cases, this will result in data being clipped. Short of programming my exports to use Office Automation, is there a way around this? (I mean that is not a kludge. For example, I could create multiple columns each with a piece of the memo, but that would be horribly ugly.)

Sincerely,
