>I need to generate some spreadsheets for a client on a regular basis. I know I can use SAVE AS XLS to get my cursor into spreadsheet format, but it looks very bad in the spreadsheet, and the column headers are uncontrollable. I could pretty it up in Excel or Quattro, but I'd have to do that every time I generated new data.

Use Excel's automation object to place and format the data, rather than just doing a SAVE AS ... TYPE XLS.
