1 year ago Colleague: You are confused about this library.
With this library you can convert a cursor/DBF/table/grid to an XLSx spreadsheet.
What you need to do is change the VFP' COPY TO command in you application for one of the following VFPxWorkbookXlsx's functions.
You can use any of this functions (you can see them in the documentation):
SaveGridToWorkbook Saves the passed grid to a workbook in xlsx file format. Uses the grid column widths to set the workbook column widths. Adds a new sheet for each passed grid if the same workbook name.
SaveGridToWorkbookEx Saves the passed grid to a workbook in xlsx file format by writing directly to the XLSX files and does not write to the internal cursors; hence, this is the fastest way to create a XLSX file from a grid.
SaveTableToWorkbook Saves the passed table to a workbook in xlsx file format. Adds a new sheet for each passed table if the same workbook name.
SaveTableToWorkbookEx Saves the passed table to a workbook in xlsx file format by writing directly to the XLSX files and does not write to the internal cursors; hence, this is the fastest way to create a XLSX file from a table or cursor. You can also pass an array of the fields that are to be included in the export.
SaveWorkbook Saves the selected workbook to xlsx file format based on the name set at creation of the workbook
SaveWorkbookAs Saves the selected workbook to xlsx file format with the supplied file name; resets the workbook file name for future saves

Hi Greg,
Is there is a simple demo for conversion of an .XLS file to an .XLSX file using the XLSX-Workbook Class ? m.xfile = "c:\data\myfile.xls" m.newfile = "c:\data\myfile.xlsx"
I use your class and am grateful for your work but I have even more queries which I rely on that use the native VFP Copy TO XLS command. Recently, this has become more and more of an issue for me as clients lock down the .XLS file type with read-only and strong warning message due to it's infrequent use nowadays.
