Here's another thing you can do. After you make sure your columns are
formatted (if numbers are left as "general" your decimal places will be
lost), click on Insert-Name-Define in order to open up a dialog box that
defines the extent of your data. The data range will probably be the same
as the original excel file before you added the extra rows or columns of
data for your DBF file. Just include the extended area in your selection,
and then you can save the file as a DBF without having to copy/paste to a
new worksheet.

I need to do an analysis on some data in a DBF-but after I have run
calculations in Excel and pop it back into DBF, the data isn't showing
up in the DBF.

I am able to get my calculations to save as dbf now, but I can't get
this data to join a shapefile to save my life.
When I look at the data it shows the Blockgroups stored as text, but
when I try to convert them, it loses part of the State Code.
