Hi,

dBaseIII, haven't heard that one in a long time.

In Excel 2003 or earlier choose File, Save As, and change the Save as type
to DBF 3 (dBASE III) (*.dbf)

Excel 2007 doesn't support that file type.

Hi,

Access 2007 can Export a table as a dBase file. (External Data, More, ....)
So you could import your Excel data and then do the conversion there.

You could download a free copy of OpenOffice and it will allow you to save
the file as a dBase III file.
