Most people export the file as .CSV from Excel, then import into the database.  Excel can also write out DBF files, but the allowable format list recently got shorter.

If you move to (x)Harbour, you can command Excel via OLE, to be your front end (if you wish), and have it do the exporting work for you.

If it's a one off you can save the file in a dbf format in Excel. I'm 
not sure if the latest Excel has the option, previous ones do, so does 
Open Office which is free.
