Ooohh, ooooh, I know this one!  Ahem.

Check out the Paste - Values function in Excel.

Basically, you open your existing spreadsheet that you want to "paste" your
downloaded data into.  Then open the file you just created on the download.
Copy the full range of cells from your downloaded data.  Switch over to the
"sheet" that has all the formatting set, select a row where you want to
begin your paste, right-click, and select Paste Special (this is Excel '97;
might be different in other versions).  In the Paste Special window, select
"Values" and click OK.

I just discovered this about seven months ago.  I wish I'd known about it
seven years ago!

Subject: AS400 file to PC file transfer


I'm using RUMBA file transfer to transfer an AS400 file to a PC. The target
is an EXCEL spreadsheet. The problem that I'm having is that the spreadsheet
file is overwritten on each transfer, even when I've stipulated to add to
(not replace) the PC file. When it's overwritten, it replaces the
spreadsheet column widths with a width of  8.43 for each column.

Does anyone have experience downloading to an existing spreadsheet, where
the original spreadsheet's column formats do not change?

TIA
Phil
