RE: Output from PF to Excel XLS file in IFS

If the reason for this level of presentation is because the users are not
spreadsheet people than perhaps send them an HTML file instead that opens in
their browser?  

Add in a nice image, background, and borders and they get a printable report
that looks like a gazzillion bucks.  The benefits of HTML presentation are
many but my favorite is that you can put the file on a server and e-mail
them a shortcut for their desktop.  Then there's no complicated mailing list
maintenance process.

That's exactly why. We're downloading data right now, converting it and
e-mailing it manually. We want to be able to offer this to more of our
customers without having to add clerical staff.

He wants to create spreadsheets from his database and automatically email
them with no human intervention.
