Could this be a version issue with Excel? Which Excel version is used on the "dark side" and which on the Mac? Have you looked with a text or hex editor at the Excel file to see if they are the same before saving and after?

Now for the glitch.
The FileMaker dBase will not import the Excel data unless it is first opened in Excel, on my Mac running OSX 10.4.11, and then re-saved.  [Opening and saving the file using a Windows machine does not fix the problem.]

Then it imports just fine.

An obvious answer might be to use ODBC you say.
I have already said this and was informed that the Mac side would not be allowed to directly interface with the "real computers" on the dark side.  I jest, but that was the response with some liberal translation added.

Has anyone had similar issues and if so where do I look to fix this?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Regards
