I regularly transfer information form INFORMIX databases to a variety pf spreadsheets. My preferred technique is to use the Wingz spreadsheet and embedded SQL statements in HyperScript. However, if that isn't an option set DBDELIMITER "," and issue an UNLOAD TO filename SELECT statement. This produces a comma delimited file which can be imported into most self-respecting spreadsheets. > Malcolm Weallans Online Database Consultancy Phone 01628-72154 Fax 01628-37463 CIX - onlinedbc
