Thats just it,  I see the file fine,  when he pulls it in through his
program it does not come through okay.  I just did a download of a file in
excel using MSQuery and then saved that spreadsheet as a .csv ignoring the
conversion warning messages.  This file he could read!!??

All of the file look fine when viewing in excel but some program of his
"reads" each one differently


File nau020801  was created with CPYTOIMPF

File nau020901  was created with Client Access transfer

File nau021001  was created with msquery into .xls then re-saved as a .csv

????????

Angela, I am confused by your message.  You say you are being told that the
"data does not come in all on one line for a record".  What exactly does
this mean?  Could you attach a couple of lines of your final record and then
tell us what's wrong with it?

Joe
