OLEautoclient is a class available in newer versions of dBASE. It is highly unlikely to be available in dBASE5. Even if it is, crossing the boundary between dbDOS and Windows will probably be a problem. OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) is Microsoft technology which allows one program to gain access to another program. On newer versions of dBASE one can use and OLEautomation object to move data in both directions between a .xls file and a .dbf file without needing to use a .csv file as an intermediate step.
