- Hello.
- I have a question about the structure of dBase databases red by Excel:
-
- If I read a dBaseIII dbf file with Excel, the database is correctly
- interpreted by Excel. That means the database, when returned to
- DBF3 format will have the correct structure.
-
- My question is: where is this structure conserved by Excel ?
- Is it possible to list the structure when working in Excel ?
- I would like to see the field type and the field length
- of some fields.
-
- Thanks.
-
- Olivier
