Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, holding down the shift, the CTRL or both doesn't do it.
Has my database some setting which is preventing me from copy multiple fields? I can highlight the entire database by clicking in the upper left corner, but when I copy, all that appears in the spreadsheet is a single ID number. Also, I am unable to save the database in a CSV format, although I could create a report and save that in various word processing formats. Is there a way of converting the entire database to excel? Any other ideas? Thanks again. I have never experienced all of this before. --- Gary Dale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Click on the column header (the A, B, C etc. at the top of the > column) > of the first column you want copied.
