On the transfer down, just naming the result file with a .csv subscript is not sufficient. The File Type dropdown box in the PC section must be set to the “csv” choice. Mine was at the “Ascii” choice.

Thanks for getting me to focus on the 400-to-PC copy as the real problem (instead of the PC-to-400 step). It works !!!

or was it numeric fields?

anyway – you can not have them and all is well.

I find a mis-match. The file that came from the iSeries has neither commas nor quotes while the Comma Separated Values version of the spreadsheet has commas (no quotes). Does the as/400-to-PC transfer have any requirements (i.e. must be an existing .csv file) ? I’ll try variations on that theme. Thanks, Mike (aceofdelts)
