SUMMARY
Microsoft Excel versions 4.0a, 5.x, and 7.0 support DBF4 files with more than 128 fields for export (that is, a Microsoft Excel worksheet saved as DBF4 file), and versions 5.x and 7.0 will also import DBF4 files of more than 128 fields that have been exported from other applications.

DBF4 files created from other applications with more than 128 fields will only show the first 128 fields when opened in Microsoft Excel version 4.0a and earlier.
