Maybe they decided it's obsolete. Here's the notice in the footer of the
dBase main web page:

That's a few years old. Perhaps usage statistics also indicate that there
are few people using this format.

I appreciate finding out before installing XL2007! It's really weird that
they would take away such a tool.

But if it is of any help, GIS 9.2 is supposed to be able to handle
xls-files
directly. Havn't tried it yet myself though, but heard of peolpe having
trouble with it...

MICROSOFT - PLEASE FIX THIS! here is another voice to complain about the
lack
of dbf - which i and others use constantly for work in mapping programs
like
ArcGIS and even MSAccess. I love 2007 but there is no way I can't have
this
functionality. If you feel the same please post and complain as well to
prove
to Microsoft that their conclusion that this option is rarely used was
dead
wrong - lots of people use and rely on it.

There's no dbf export possibilities in Excel 2007? Is this an issue of
the
new XL2k7 or I missed to install some add-ins? Thanks.
