In my simple testing in xl2003, my file didn't go blank.

You may want to post more details on what you did--and what version of excel
you're using.

(and what version of .dbf, too.)

My version of excel is 2002 on xp pro
The files contents always disappear without having to open the dbf with
visual foxpro 9.0
I would open the file saved as a .dbf in excel after saving and it would be
blank in excel

I don't use .dbf very often...

But excel uses a range named DataBase when it saves to the .dbf file.

Make sure your range named DataBase includes everything you want to keep.

You may want to delete that name (insert|name|define dialog) and reapply it to
your real data.
