Art,<br /> <br />When I want to put filepro data into an excel spreadsheet, I write out a html page containing a table and I make sure the filename ends in .xls. Then when the user double clicks whether it is an email attachment or a file in their documents directory, it opens with excel and no intermediate step is necessary for conversion.<br /><br />Thank you<br /><br /><br />Rick Henderson<br /><br />

But....<br /><br />I have tried using lines from Laura's Help File and am surely doing something wrong because it does not work. I am sure I am misinterpreting some very simple instructions.<br /><br />I have a file named 'crsfinal'. I want the data in that file to ultimately end up in an EXCEL file. My limited knowledge tells me to export the data into a comma-delimited .csv file and from there I can convert it to an EXCEL file.<br /><br />Assuming that is correct I have written the following line in output processing in the 'crsfinal' file.<br /><br />EXPORT WORD ofile="myfile" <br /><br />I get the following error:<br /><br />System Error<br />on File: "myfile"<br />Output Processing<br />Line Number 1<br />EXPORT WORD ofile = "myfile"<br />^<br />Bad Function Number<br /><br />If anybody is listening I would be grateful for some help.
