Although, I think that in doing so (which I HAVE done before) - there are a number of downsides to doing so (which others in the group have mentioned some of them in the past): 1 - The learning curve - if you've never done it before. 2 - The machine you run the program on must obviously have EXCEL on it to run. If someone was to try and run it - to produce the Excel file - to send that file to someone - they could NOT do it without Excel being on that machine. 3 - This also becomes a problem if the App runs on a server - which someone logs into - and the server does not have Excel installed. 4 - But, the main downside I have heard complains about from others - and experienced myself - is that this method is actually SLOW. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/DF1EEF11E586A64FB54A97F22A8BD0441D4A7D60FF@ACKBWDDQH1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
