Harbour DBF to Excel Problem

Post by Rathinagiri »

I have a dbf created using HMG. In which I have a field of characters having width of 500. If I import this dbf into Excel/Openoffice it is broken. When I shrink into 200 characters, It is imported correctly.

Is there any limitation in this regard?
East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.
...the possibilities are endless.

I'm not sure, may be a 255 bytes limit. Do you haven't try dividing C500 field to two adjacent fields in C250 ?
