I'm the one Christof came up with the code for :) I'm not sure about your problem, but this code would not work on some machines here, including my own. I had to use

oExcel = GetObject("Excel.Sheet")

You might try that...needs a couple other code changes from this change. Also note that you need one more row to account for the headers where the RecCount() is, RecCount()+1...after a few changes, works perfectly, and there's no hassle with XL5 coversion, this method goes directly to Excel97...
