Nice but missed my point. I do not want to re-generate the reports. They're fine as hold files. It's converting the hold-files to CSV that's the issue.

I entered some standard stuff like file, name, heading, data descriptors, break-on and id-supp. I expanded this to launch excel and import it on the fly so that a user could run a report in multi-value and the result would appear on his work station in Excel a few seconds later. No repetitive headers or the rest of the spooler junk. I than incorporated it to process the end-of-day reports and store them in tab delimited format in the end_of_day folder on the server.
