Version is 9.0.4402 SR-1 The problem is reproducible. Thank you all. Thought I had lost my alleged mind for a while.

In RBWin I have a command file the has three command lines plus return and exports the data and opens an Excel sheet with the data in it. Sylk is automatically defined as an Excel file in Office applications. LAUNCH makes life easy, does it not! CONNECT <dbname> GATEWAY EXPORT SYLK filename.SLK SELECT ...
