Thank you Shane, 2007 is what I have.

Hi,

dBaseIII, haven't heard that one in a long time.

In Excel 2003 or earlier choose File, Save As, and change the Save as type
to DBF 3 (dBASE III) (*.dbf)

Excel 2007 doesn't support that file type.

Hi,

Access 2007 can Export a table as a dBase file. (External Data, More, ....)
So you could import your Excel data and then do the conversion there.

You could download a free copy of OpenOffice and it will allow you to save
the file as a dBase III file.

XLSX2DBF is an Excel 2007 add-in that helps convert and/or save a
native DBF
file that was edited with Excel 2007.

Two common scenarios are supported:

A) Open a native DBF file in Excel 2007 – Make changes – Save as a
native
DBF file with the changes.

B) Open/create an Excel file that looks like a database
(headers/columns/rows) – Save as a native DBF file.
