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? |
How to maintain text characters when converting from xls to dbf f.
Hi Nombo,
I'm used to working with FoxPro DBFs which have a limit of 256 characters in a Character field (for longer strings use a Memo field) and a limit of 10 characters for field names. Maybe DBF IV is the same. -- Cindy Winegarden MCSD, Microsoft Visual FoxPro MVP www.cindywinegarden.com "Nombo" wrote in message ...
