>Can't you just do all this in Excel, then do a Save [Excel file] then a SaveAs a Lotus file [different file extension]? What the user don't know...

The problem is that not all users have Excel. The object first looks for it and, if found, uses it. If it's not found, then it checks for 1-2-3.

The file itself is a template that's simply used for printing and isn't saved to a disk. Theoretcally, there can be as few as 1 page or as many as 16.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.
