RE: Getting a file to excel

I am sorry to bring up this past question, but I was just reviewing
Subject lines and this one caught my eye.

Of all the responses concerning getting a file to Excel, I don't see
where anyone mentioned ODBC.     Our users Import External Data into
Excel using an ODBC connection.   It is easy and fast.
        
Would you consider ODBC as an option?

I have users, go to

Tools --> Transfer Data from iSeries.   Then have them select a data
transfer request that is saved to their personal network drive. It's
been
awhile, but if I remember correctly... the file doesn't even have to be
CSV, just a regular database file.

HI What are some of the methods in taking a file that was generated by
an
RPG program and getting it to the user in an Excel Worksheet file?

It seems to be a straightforward file. Is there a preferred method. Any
issues w/ v5.3 and the client access ?

Thanks,
Steve
