Hi John,

I am still working on my problem--I can create the CSV file, but haven't been able to 
open the CSV file while in filepro, using Excel, after the CSV file has been created.

I use @ts to see how many records have been selected, and as each record has been 
sent to the CSV file I increment a variable field rn.  When rn is equal to @ts I try 
to open CSV.

To prove that @ts is the number of records selected I have created the JPG file 
attached.  Note at the bottom left where it shows @ts, which contains the number of 
records selected, which is that same number as that above.

Take Care,

Harold
