ADS with Alaska 1.9 & 2.0

Are there any issues with accessing ADS DBF files with a mix of Alaska 2.0 and Alaska 1.9 programs. I am just starting the conversion to Alaska 2.0 and there appears to be no problems with both xBase versions accessing shared DBFs at the same time.

Re: Using a command to copy DBF to EXCEL

I tried that but Excel recognizes it as a .xls just named as an .xlsx. I was hoping there was a replacement for the "-4143" that would change the file type?

Re: Using a command to copy DBF to EXCEL

Is it possible to save the spread sheet as an .xlsx for excel 2010? I have a customer who does not want an .XLS and complains that he has to load the .XLS and save it as an .xlsx.

I was using the COMIX CDX Drivers with some success. However, with heavy file activity and lots of moving to different locations in the file, the index would get corrupted. The index would loop back on itself causing the program to loop forever on a set of 3 to 20 records. I had one Tag that has a k...
