For info, I had some trouble when importing data in Excel v.X from a
FMPro v.5 file. Excel crashes and returns the following message:
"FileMaker Pro error: Object not found". Problem is caused by the
number of characters in the name of the FileMaker Pro file. File name
may not exceed 31 characters.
Good to know if you want to avoid exporting data in a temporary file
before importing in Excel.

Note that this is a limitation of XLv.X, which can only handle 31
character filenames. Longer filenames work in XL04.
