There isn't a native ActiveX for export, might be some third party stuff out there like Data Junction. With the COPY TO .. AS.. it shouldn't be too hard to create your own dialog to hand this. Use AFIELDS() to create a list of fields, let them select the ones they want and an export type. A couple of days work and you'd have a pretty good reuseable VFP component.

I suppose the article should have been more clear regarding the issue that some or all of these '_menu' functions may not be distributable.

David,

Thanks for the tip! You've been most helpful. Suprisingly enough, however, the printer dialog does not work out side the development environment. Even though I have VFP installed on my machine, running the executable on my PC produces no results, as mentioned earlier in this thread.

Oh well, what would life be without a few MORE challenges.

Thanks again for your help,
