Hi,

Is there some limit of size excel file ? (number of rows ?)

If I exporting DBF with about 700000 records, get error Automation/6500, Range....
Problem is with export all records, in errorlog (dot) I saw pointer on last record of database) . If I filter some numbers of records, excel file created.

Now I download newer file _dcfunct.prg and testing export but it is too long time to creating.

I know, older version of Excel has limit to number rows about 65536,
on my pc is Excel 2010... this version has limit 1048576 rows
I do not now, if it is problem of function DC_Workarea2Excel or problem of Excel...

This look, as application call or create xls file in older format Excel2003 or older , is possible change it ?
calling excel.application in _dcfunct.prg

This depend on your Excel version

Up to version ? each worksheet is limited to 64### rows,
So you must use more worksheets or use Excel 20??

I have Office 2010 , Excel 2010, this has limit to 1048576 rows.

But maybe my system default call older version which was installed on my PC before upgrade to 2010 ?

Now I examine change default office with /regserver parameter,

if you want hole DBF just make a Copy an what OS are you using ?
when transfer each DBF Record to Array you might hit 2GB Limit with 700000 ?

do you know HBLibXL from Hubert Brandel ? ( create Excel Sheet without Excel ! )

Jimmy:
I work on W7 32 bit and also on WXP. But I do not know,how OS has client, who tell me about problem with export.

Hmm, on PC, where I work now is Windows XP and only 2GB RAM, but also just now running export on W7 with 4GB RAM maybe it was one from problems.

I want export only several fields, this is possible with DC_WorkArea2Excel with aFields definition.

Now I testing recompiled version with newer version of _dclipx.prg, still running with big DBF file (42%...) , if error will be again.

HBLibXL ? I saw this somewhere... I have to find somewhere, it is payed , so ?

what is it ?
if you want hole DBF just make a Copy an
Code:
REN TEMP.DBF TEMP.XLS

http://www.familie-brandel.de or on Pablos Website http://www.xbwin.com

hmmm- just change Extension from .DBF to .XLS and open it with Excel.
it does not work... need some change associations on pc maybe....

But it is not way for me, I want control field list and better also header of excel table.
Only it will be "cheap" solutions without any investment.
(I can prepare DBF with only select fields and then open it in Excel direct as DBF)

I looked on HPLIBXL, but can not open page www.xbwin.com, maybe at home where I have not internet restrictions.

Can you tell me, what all I need to use this library ?

I must buy LibXL.DLL, ? (price for me is 229€...)
and OT4XB too ? what price is ? or it is free source ?

And then I can simple link library and use functions in it ?
HBLibXL and LibXL is "only" for work with Excel files ?

Thank's

I would think this would be the obvious question:

Why would you want to copy a large DBF file to Excel?

good question client want this...

I have some user reports in application, but client want prepare data in my application (filter with several keys), and then export it to Excel. I know, he do not need generate XLS but can open DBF file direct in Excel and work with it .
He want also every reports generate as Excel files.
