RE: data transfer

I think TEXT is what is being referred to... not TEST.

The problem with TEXT is that all of the data will come down in one cell 
and you will then need to parse it into seperate cells.  You could use a 
comma delimited file type but this can cause problems if your actual data 
fields happen to contain a comma or a double quote.

Regards,

Dwight

DO NOT SELECT BIFFxx IF YOU WANT YOUR DATE TO TRANSFER CORRECTLY.  USE TEST
