Mark,

To get the Excel add-in:

>From the book:
Client Access Express provides a Microsoft Excel add-in for data transfer
which allows you to run download and upload transfer requests from the
32-bit versions of Microsoft Excel. You must first install the Microsoft
Excel add-in in order to transfer data from the host system to a
spreadsheet.

If Microsoft Excel was installed on your PC before Client Access Express,
the Client Access Express setup program will automatically install the
Microsoft Excel add-in when you choose to install Data transfer Excel
Add-in support. This support is installed during a typical and full
install, but may not have been installed in a custom or 5250 install.

If Microsoft Excel was installed on your PC after Client Access Express:

1       Ensure that you installed Data Transfer Excel Add-in support when
you installed Client Access Express.  This support is installed during a
typical and full install, but may not have been installed in a custom or
5250 install. Click here for information on installing a Client Access
Express component.
2       Open Microsoft Excel.
3       Select Tools > Add-Ins.
4       Click Browse.
5       Locate the path in which you installed Client Access Express.
6       Double click the shared folder.

7       Double click the cwbtfxla file.
8       Click OK.

Now you will be able to click on the data transfer toolbar icon that
appears on your Microsoft Excel toolbar. You can also run a data transfer
request by selecting Transfer Data From AS/400 from the Data menu.

>From me, if the above doesn't work:

Start, Programs, IBM AS/400 Client Access Express, Selective Setup, Expand
Data Access, Expand Data Transfer, make sure that Data Transfer Excel
Add-in was/is installed.

We use the same TCP/IP client and the file transfers work fine. Just
select
an excel file type on the transfer. And be sure to convert CCSID 65535 or
your alpha fields will come in as hex. If you have Excel 97 and Client
Access Express, there should be a 'Get AS/400 Data' option under the
Data-->Get External Data menu option. It went away when I upgraded to
Office 2000. If there is anyone out there who can help me get it back, I
would be very appreciative.


Thanks,

Mark
