Default field data truncated in DBF file from Excel

I'm running into a problem when saving an Excel file in DBF 4 or 3 format.

Field data is being truncated when I do the save as to the DBF format. It
seems to be only the longest fields in a column. I have a field with lengths
from 80 to 40 characters and the fields from 72 up to 80 are truncated by 9
characters. I have the field expanded to accommodate the widest records when
I save the file.

Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this?

Your help will be appreciated

Dan
