Importing excel documents

[mbangler]

I have a solution built in FM5.5 to import excel docs. As I found out (should've known), the runtime version of the solution cannot import excel docs. Just wondering if FM6 runtime solutions can and/or can FM 6 on OS9 run even convert this solution to FM 6? Are there any other options?

Sorry I have previously posted this question in an incorrect category.

I would check that you've included the Excel "extension" in the folder with the runtime. I believe the folder is named "Extensions" on Mac (which I'm on at the moment), or "System" on PCs. It should be in the folder with the runtime somewhere. Just copy the "Excel" extension from the similar folder in the FileMaker application folder (64K) and try again.

Read your Developer documentation; it tells all about this, incl. adding dictionaries, etc..
