Background
The idea to develop this Add-in comes from the consideration that, unfortunately, in the new Excel 2007, the option of saving worksheets to DBF format has been removed despite some programs still use this format (i.e. Arcview 3.x) and many databases, especially those used for cartographics, were created in DBF format. Excel is still able to open DBF files. However, once they are open, an user can change data, but he cannot save changes. To convert data to DBF, an user is often obliged to use commercial software.
