[Quoted] [Quoted] To manipulate in Excel you would need an ASCII file. Try setting up a local printer on the Windows client. Manufactor and model should be Generic and Generic/Text Only. When running the report put Destination (DESTYPE) as File and Format (DESFORMAT) should equal (100%) the Windows name of the printer just created. In DESNAME you give the path and full filename of the output file.
In this way you will get an reasonably well formatted ASCII file to import to Excel.
