My company uses mapping software that relies ondbffiles. If I upgrade to Excel 2007, we will no longer be able to easily convert Excel files into dbfs for use in our mapping programs. Thus for now, we will not even consider upgrading to Office 2007. I strongly suggest to Microsoft, if you are listening, to add adbfconverter to Excel 2007 in a very-soon-to-be-released service pack. I also can't believe Microsoft took out .wk1 conversion in either direction. Sure, I hardly ever use it, but there are many legacy files from old projects that I will no longer be able to even view if we upgrade. Given the prevalence of Lotus at one time, I can't believe there won't be other users with a much bigger problem with this than me.
