Thanks for your advice.

But I think there is a better way of getting the output by distributing the file grom the report previewer.

I want the report to run from the from button press and generate the output in the excel file directly, without even getting the report previwer.

Option 1:
Use OLE or DDE and poke the data into your excel spreadsheet.

Option 2:
Use delimiteddata from reports to save the report as a csv file.

Hi Rohit,

Please try the following steps:

1.you can concatenate all the fields of your report with a
delimeter . e.g the query of the reports is select
ename||'|'||sal||'|'||hiredate from emp;

2. Save the report output as .txt file.
3. Open this .txt file with MS excel specifying the delimeter
as ( | ) i.e. the one which you had concatenated the report
columns in the select clause above. (In step 1).

Let me know if thi solves your purpose.

Rgds,
Jeevan
