Ian you don't happen to have an example of what this code *does* do you?

If you're not already, it's a really good idea to consider creating something 
that will make producing excel files (the number one choice of accounting 
groups 
everywhere) from your "reports" easily.  Many years ago we used to physically 
print a bunch of reports each night, but since creating a tool the users can 
easily use, almost everything is electronic.

http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DumpRecall shows one way to do it, 
though it's pretty specific to our needs.  It wouldn't be hard to use this as 
inspiration for something that works in your own environment.  I'd forgotten 
about the 150 field limit in unidata, but this comment remembers:

    * We have a list of field names and a select, parse them the hard way
    * and write a tab-seperated file.  This is slower but avoids limitations
    * on the number of columns (of unidata) and the perl module WriteExcel

Thanks Dan - this helps immensely.
