I’ve noticed that when reading an excel (.xlsx) file through the Open Database menu, the ‘Table’ box is always checked but in order to see the fields in the sheet, the ‘System Table’ box must be checked. I don’t recall that that was true
for .xls files. I’m curious (no complaints) as to why the difference and (ok, small complaint) why, if the system table box MUST always be checked, this is not done by default. Is there a situation when the system table box would not be checked?
