Hi Jim

The option to save as DBF has been removed from XL2007.
You would need to save the file in XL97-2003 compatibility mode, then
load it in XL2002 and choose save as DBF.

That feature went away in xl2007.

Some people have posted that they could copy|paste into Access2007 and save that
as a .dbf file. Do you own Access 2007?
