    I did some data entry for a client and his "mailing" service prefered to have it in .dbf format (DBF4)

    I've never done that before, but I did some research and asked around, widened the columns and hit "save as" & chose DBF4, but when the company got the disk, they said there were about 2000 names missing. :eek:

    Anyone know what happened to them? Anyone have any experience with this?? :confused:

    Help Please!!

    TIA

    Did you open a copy of the file you sent and confirm the missing info?

    I have had some spotty luck trying to convert xls files to dbf. I can't really explain why it happens, it just does on occasion. So if I have a choice I create dbf files from Access instead of excel.

    Just a thought.....Maybe the converted file was too big for a dbf?
