Jan, you will probably have to work with spacing on the report in order to 
capture all the data.
 
Here is what I have had to do in the past.
 
1.  Maker sure the font is set at arial 10.  Easy for the data to be read.
2.  Align all the data to the left.
3.  Play with the vertical spacing so Excel will properly pickup all the data.  
The data is not transferring with the exact alignment between the programs for 
all the data to be  properly displayed.  You have to trick the programs with 
alignment in order to properly to receive and view the data.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Printing to Excel File


Ok, y'all - I give up on this one!  I am trying to print a membership 
directory.  The format is like this:
 
    Company Name
    Contact Name
    Address
    City, State Zip
    Billing Address
    Billing CSZ
    Phone
    FAX
    EMail
    WebSite
 
Sounds simple, but the member may or may not have a contact, billing address, 
phone, fax, email, website, or any combination of those elements missing.  I 
have been "clever" enough to make enough variables to account for each missing 
element.  The object here is to have the listing with no spaces for missing 
elements nor duplicated information.  There are 3 possible variations on the 
address:
 
1.  Street & Bill same:
    Address
    CSZ
2. Street & Bill different, CSZ same:
    Address
    Billing Address
    CSZ
3. Street & Bill different:
    Address
    CSZ
    Bill Address
    Bill CSZ
 
As I said, I can actually get all this to work right, but when I go to print my 
report to an Excel file, it will randomly lose a contact name, email address, 
or something.  For the life of me, I cannot figure out why this is happening.  
I would think it may be a misinterpretation of a delimiter but I can't seem to 
find a pattern to it.  Can anyone help?
 
Thanks in advance!
