Hi,

customer comes up with a problem.

they are simple incapable of working with a mamaged database. hey have a scenario where the requirements change faster then one can can code and test and the requirements of one day are just valid those day. So they use a mess of Excel files to get there mangares the answers of the moment.

We have given up to try to put it in the database - it does not make sense.

But they use, for there general problems, a database system. Now they like to base there Excel stuff on this data. This is a system with one database per project.

So the idea was to make the data from the database available for Excel.

The data can not be read by one SELECT SQL command, at least in VFP - VFP will run into C0..05 problems.

What would the be best way to provide the data?

Thanks for your help

Lutz
