Hello, I have a fex that uses: ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF OPEN to output about 10 files to the same PDF. The problem is that the end-user needs these reports to be in excel. Now, I only have Excel 2000, so I don't think I can make a compound Excel file. Is there another format that I can put these in that will allow the end-user to open them in excel? Like a text file? Here's the kicker... Since this is housed on the RCaster library, I need a format that is not going to prompt me: "Do you want to save this file?" when the program is run. Any thoughts? Thanks!This message has been edited. Last edited by: Mark1,

Probably your best bet is going to be to create this same fex (cut & paste) using the new document layout tool with table of contents and output to EXL2K. That will give you the correct new syntax for creating a compound doc instead of the old OPEN/CLOSE syntax.
The "Do you wnat to save this file" is a browser function because ther browser knows it is downloading something but does not know what to do with the filetype. Proably missing an acrobat or excel plug-in for your browser or missing the proper file extension in your list of registered file type
