Default How to maintain text characters when converting from xls to dbf f.
I am trying to save an xls (97-2002) file as a DBF IV format in order to use
it in ArcGIS. The dbf format trucates my text (in addition to the column
heading) and converts the cell text format into a number format. Is there
any way around this? Is there a maximum character length for DBF cells?
