Is the C/A ODBC driver part of the free portion? If so, I suggest using this. If you are downloading a file, and not a spool file, you did not say. As to the excel portion of your problem, you might want to try saving the finished, properly formatted excel sheet as an excel template (*xlt). That will probably do the trick for you. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Snyder [mailto:dsnyder@blcnet.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 5:11 AM To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: Re: AS400 Reports Into MS Excel - Formatting ASC's SEQUEL product does this very nicely. >>> "Rick Rayburn" <the400man@hotmail.com> 1/29/03 7:19:51 AM >>> I would not be surprised if this question has already been posed but here goes anyway: I have a request to create a recurring job which entails running a 400 - based report and dumping it into an EXCEL spreadsheet. In the absence of CA, I have been using a BoS-A-Nova file transfer utility to convert the document into a text file. When I open it in EXCEL, I then get the "formatting wizard" which walks through the final steps to view the report properly. My question is, will I have to format this EACH TIME I bring in the report? Is there anyway to create a permanent format shell that will handle this task without the constant manual attention? Thanks for the input.
