anybody successfully saving exl2k pivot tables, with page and cache fields? in batch ? (meaning filedeffing and parking the exl2k output, bypassing the browser). I'm in 525 and i can't make it work. I'm having to copy the files out of the agent, renaming them. Its a workaround, but it stinks. it makes an .xht and .xml. Anybody got a later version with good/easier mechanics??

yes, JG, we're currently CMD COPYing them out of the agent. We had expected a single filedef to work. It didn't. We have learned however that in some newer version (can't remember which), there is a WEBARCHIVE attribute that has something to do with packaging both files and allowing a single filedef to work, with a .xls extension. So, we'll upgrade , but only when RANGENAMES are implemented. Until now, our workaround, as well as your suggestion, are doing the trick. thanks jg.

Web Archive was added in release 5.3. You'll only upgrade if Rangenames are added? Boy, you're really putting the pressure on us huh? That's ok, we work well under pressure. Also keep in mind that release 5.3 gives you the Compound Excel functionality (multiple worksheets in a single workbook). Don't worry though, I've seen the light... named ranges are in the works.
