how to read dbf file using macro?
Thank you Tom
This code simply saved the musa.dbf as musa.xls. My main target is to get the DATA from a simple dbf file and populate it in excel. what my real need is to open the dbf file and get the value from there then populate the value in excel. Can you direct me to the place where i can get such information. if you have such code that will be the best.... Once again, thank you for the help.

my main gole is to copy the data of dbf file to excel file.
so when it is saves as an excel file, the data from the dbf file isn't in an excel file? I believe it is. If you want to populate an existing file, then open it in excel as I have shown you, then access the cells you want and place the values in the location you want of the existing file. then close the open dbf file without saving. You can also approach it as Nick has suggested - it is pretty much the same. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "musa.biralo" wrote: Thank you Tom This code simply saved the musa.dbf as musa.xls.
