Jim, Excel CAN read comma delimited data. Ask again why the requirement for

Thanks to all that replied to my posting. I read a few replies suggesting
that I use XML and not fixed length. As I stated in my original note,
fixed length was a requirement. I guess I should have supplied more
information.

Jim;
As you may have noticed from the replies: there are a number of ways to do
this. Depending on the number of files/fields and the frequency you want to
do this, and any connection options you currently have will affect your
final choice.

Jim,
I don't see why on earth you want to use fixed length data with Excel.
Do you need to normalize the data or are you intending to use multi-line
cells?
The best way to importing multiline cells into Excel is to generate a HTML
file that represents the spreadsheet cells as an HTML table. You
You might look at Cedarville Download (ftp.cedarville.edu). Its a free

You can however strip all non printable characters by passing the data
through OCONV(mydata, "MCP")
This turns all non printables into the period character "."
To seperate your fields, pass the data through a conversion like
CONVERT(VM,"|", mydata)
which will tu
First off, what are you planning to do with the data once you have it in
Excel? In most cases it won't be useful unless you explode/flatten the
