Excel 2007 Add-in to save DBF

I have been "upgraded" to Excel 2007 which I discovered does not save to DBF format

So I put together the attached Excel 2007 add-in to add this functionality back in. Once activated, it will add a "dBASE IV DBF" menu item in the Office menu Save As list. It works mostly like the Excel 2003 save as DBF.

To install, unzip the attachment to your "Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Microsoft\AddIns\" folder and activate it in Excel.

One issue is that the Jet driver ignores the data types and uses what it thinks is best instead. A work-around would be to reopen the table with the VFPOLEDB driver and alter table the columns to what you want.

Hopefully people will find this more useful than copying the data to Access and exporting from there.
