You can copy the contents of the cursor out to .xls only using the

standard COPY TO ... TYPE XL5

Then you can use automation to create an .XLSX file.   I'm using office

365 but I am on version 15 so slightly older so you should be able to

create an .XLSX file with your version.

#include include\excel.h

TRUE=.T.

FALSE=.F.

oExcel = CREATEOBJECT('excel.application')

oExcel.Workbooks.Open(myfile)

cOutfile2 = 'myfilev2.xlsx'

objexcel.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs(cOutfile2, xlOpenXMLWorkbook)

In excel.h xlOpenXMLWorkbook is 51
