Sequel can build the actual Excel file.  You just need access to a shared
folder or networked drive on the 400 to get to it after it is created.  Or I
believe the newest version can e-mail it you.

Lucky you for having Query-capable users.  We have only one here that uses
Query with any regularity.  He is happy with that, so we haven't shown him
Sequel yet.  So Sequel is mainly a programmer's tool here, but from my
experience with it, anybody comfortable with Query should have very little
trouble learning Sequel.  I love it, the only time I use Query anymore is to
run an old one that hasn't been converted yet.  The capabilities are pretty
much the same, I just find it easier to get the specs in with Sequel,
especially with complicated selection criteria where ( )'s come in very
handy.

The report writer also gives you complete control over the format of the
report.  And then there is the tabler module.  You should get a trial of it
and check it out.  It has become an indispensable tool here.
