SUMMARY
To use a FoxBASE+/Mac database file in Microsoft Excel 4.0 for the Macintosh, place the database file in the Excel Startup Folder. When Microsoft Excel starts, it automatically opens the database file.

CAUTION: If the database file has a memo field, Microsoft Excel cannot open the memo file. If you use Microsoft Excel to modify the contents of a database file that has a memo field, and then open the file in FoxBASE+, the memo field will be changed to a character field. Even if the field is changed back to a memo field, you cannot access the memo file.



MORE INFORMATION
On a machine running Apple System 6, the Excel Startup Folder is in the System Folder. On a machine running Apple System 7, the Excel Startup Folder is in the Preferences Folder in the System Folder.
