If I understand what you're asking, would a UNION cover it?

SELECT 1 AS ColumnOrdering, ItemOrdering, ColumnnA AS C1, ColumnB AS C2, ColumnC AS C3;
   FROM myTable ;
UNION
   SELECT 2 AS ColumnOrdering, ItemOrdering, ColumnnD AS C1, ColumnE AS C2, ColumnF AS C3;
   FROM myTable ;
INTO myExportTable ;
ORDER BY 1, 2

SQL may not necessarily respect the physical ordering of the table (and good SQL code doesn't rely on this). So, a possible issue with this is that you'll need some kind of item ordering field (perhaps this actually is one of the columns).

Also note that the columns must be UNION-compatible -- same data type and size. If they aren't you can use appropriate functions to pad or whatever to the required field size.

>I have several Tables with data that I copy over to an excel spreadsheet. I never have to worry about the number of records exceeding the alloted number of rows. The spreadsheet ends up having cloumns "A" through "AI." I would rather have the colums appear under each other. I other words:
>
>ColumnA columnB columnC columD columnE columnF in table
>
>in spreadsheet
>
>ColumnA columnB columnC
>columD columnE columnF
>
>all fo the colums have different headers or names. Is this possible in VFP?
