Wy not show the selected data in a web page (form), allow the user to update the expiration date and update the file on "submit". This way you avoid the download, the VB and the upload.

I got an Excel from another company.
We want to import some columns to a PF/400, to eventually match similar
data.

I wrote some VBA code to allow fast updates of the Lot Master's
expiration date. The user downloads according to their criteria, then
modifies the expiration dates as necessary and then uploads that data.

Once I figured out the correct syntax for the upload (I'm so used to
downloading) it wasn't involved at all.

I prefer this method because there isn't any intermediate files used at
all, the data table is directly modified. No worries about delimit
character problems, nor character versus numeric data, etc.
