I responded to a question about this in another thread. In Excel save the file as .CSV and then write some code to read it in ... as a .CSV file is pure text, dBASE 5 can read it use the file functions built into dBASE. The other option is to use DBFImport from dBase, LLC. It's a software package that you would need to purchase, but it should be able to do the job for you.
