i have done a good bit of this where i work. i use query or rpg to create a report(1set of headings, everything in columns no totals or breaks) for the user. make it a menu item they can run. copy the report to a db, then cpy the db to a folder as txt. then the user opens excel(excel 97 has a limit of 64000+ a few). it is the simplest and most straight forward for the user, also you keep them from capturing millions of records. no messing with rumba or ca for the user. less phone calls to our dept. if you know a simpler way let me know jeff grace +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
