Hello, from Germany

This is a part of the new DB-Tool you will find in the forum
in a short time

It is possible to create a formated Excel-Sheet of any DBF-File.
With the parameter lOemAnsi = .T. you can convert the DBF to Ansi
The needed cellwidth is calculated.
The Excel-Sheet can work with 4 Windows
Its quick and easy to handle.

Two suggestions.

Date may be formatted as yyyy-mm-dd but not as yyyymmdd. This can be done by SET DATE ANSI and use DTOC( dvar ).

For empty dates use null string.

Logicals may be converted as TRUE or FALSE. Excel understands True / False but not YES / NO.

Hi

How to format a character data cell into a date data cell like this :

from : 9/6/08
to : 09/06/2008

(with SET DATE BRIT and SET CENT ON format : dd/mm/yyyy)

Thanks

Mr RameshBabu
But when we assign a value to the cell, assign date variable directly.
This is the way we can format dates to our own user format.

If we set the format to "m/d/yyyy", Excel will honour the format set in the windows configuration.

By the way, we have been living in the same city but never met each other or don't even know each other till now. Some day we should meet.

Thanks for your guidance.

It is my pleasure. Let me complement that your postings are more
knowledge based and guiding.
