We used to use ']' delimited files but it means you have to do the excel load

now we convert it to an html table with a .xls on the end of the file name and 
excel just opens it

code sample (which i expect you'll all rewrite so its much more efficient)

            REC<-1> = "<TABLE>"
            READ DATAREC FROM SW.FILE,"tmp":@LOGNAME ELSE DATAREC = TEXT
            IF ACCOUNT = '' THEN DATAREC = TEXT
            LINES = DCOUNT(DATAREC,@FM)
            REC<-1> = '<TR><TD ALIGN="LEFT" BGCOLOR="#FF6666">This Workbook was 
created by the Explore Reservations System<TD><TR>'
            FOR I = 1 TO LINES
               REC<-1> = '<TR>'
               COLS = DCOUNT(DATAREC<I>,']')
               A = DATAREC<I>
               A = CHANGE(A,' ','&nbsp;')
               R = ''
               FOR Y = 1 TO COLS
                  B = FIELD(A,']',Y)
                  IF I = 1 THEN
                     R := '<TD ALIGN="LEFT" BGCOLOR="#FF6666">':B:'</TD>'
                  END ELSE
                     R := '<TD ALIGN="LEFT" BGCOLOR="#FFF999">':B:'</TD>'
                  END
               NEXT Y
               REC<-1> = R
               REC<-1> = '</TR>'
            NEXT I
            REC<-1> = '<TR><TD ALIGN="LEFT" BGCOLOR="#FF6666">End of 
Report<TD><TR>'
            REC<-1> = '</TABLE>'
            REC<-1> = '</body>'
            REC<-1> = '</html>'
