When I execute it, Rbase locks up and I have to kill the process to get out. However, if I run GATEWAY via the menu, load the specification file MRPINFO.rgw and execute, it works fine. --Load data into tmpitem from excel spread sheet set var vFileName text = 'M:\MRP\Item Sales Review.xls' GATEWAY IMPORT XLS .vFilename APPEND TmpItem + OPTION specification_file_name MRPINFO.rgw|+ SHEET_INDEX 1 Thanks all, -Bob
