Gunnar & Jan, I like to use the print report to create the spreadsheet because I can include a title block at the top of the spreadsheet. If I use the gateway function I lose the ability to do so. I hope I can find a way to make print report work properly. John

But I can tell you how I do. When it comes to R:Base to Excel I use only 2 methods. Browse (normally a view) and export to xls or From excel I do an ODBC read from my R:Base Database to my predefined excel report. When it comes to print I never figured it out how to get it into excel the way I wanted. However I think PDF reports works great and that is the preferred format anyway.
