Does anyone know how to save a file as db4 in the new Excel 2007?

Save as a comma delimited file. You db4 app will read this Ok just as Excel
reads comma delimited files.

Thanks Bernard,
I am using Visual DBase, when the app tries to open the .csv file it
responds with an error " not a valid dbase table" any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks for your help Bernard.

The app does not have an import feature however, as a workaround I was able
to import the csv file into Access and re-export it out as a db4 file format.
Not sure if this is the best approach but it worked.

If you come across a better solution, plz feel free to send it to me.
Again, thanks for your efforts.
