RE: Using File Transfer Add-in in Excel with a macro

I'm willing to bet that the CA/400 Excel add-on doesn't code the macro
for you. Instead try using ODBC, I know that does code the macro for
you.

Subject: Using File Transfer Add-in in Excel with a macro

All -
I am by no means an Excel expert, but I'm trying to learn...

Is there a trick necessary to use the iSeries Access file transfer
add-in within an Excel macro?  
As a test:

1) I created a new macro named "Macro1" by selecting Tools -> Macro ->
Record New Macro from the Excel Toolbar 

2) Then I selected Data -> Transfer Data from iSeries, and selected and
ran the file transfer to pull the data into the spreadsheet.

3) Then I stopped macro recording.  

However when I try to run it nothing happens, and I went into the Visual
Basic Editor for the module this is all that i find:

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' Macro recorded 1/24/2006 by Steve Landess '

'
End Sub
