   Hate to repeat something, but the message you get indicates something wrong   
   when pdx attempts to identify how to format the fields.  Now that could be   
   not recognizing the data, or simply not being able to name the field (altho   
   I thought it would default to something generic).  YOu never responded to   
   Liz's question on field names.  Could you list them here?   
   >>   
   >> 2. Are you sure the column headers in Excel are valid Paradox field   
   >> names?   
   >>   
      
   Once we see valid names are being used, the next ? would be - is the data   
   consistent across the board?  I do believe that pdox may operate a lot like   
   excel and establish the "type" of each field by the contents of the first   
   row's cells.  You may have to ensure that the first row in your .xls   
   contains representative data in each col so pdox has something to work with   
   from the start.
