Yes, Excel 

... Excel is capable to read DBF3 files then you can
save then as XLS files.

Errrmmm... there are rumours that say so... but it is not 100% true.

- Excel is not able to read memo type fields
- Excel is not able to open FOXDBE files (at least not with the DBE
settings I'm using)

This is why I'm using DBFDBE to export data - plus a special handling for
memo fields (switching type from "M" to "C" for the export file)

Thanks.

I've managed to import a dbf to excel. It looks ok.
