There has never been any problem. Now suddenly all of the output data has started transferring to Excel as long hexadecimal strings and is unusable. I asked the IT folks if anything had changed that might account for this but the answer is always “no”. Since this is affecting BOTH my office PC and my laptop simultaneously, I have to believe that this has something to do with the AS400 rather than the individual Client Access installations but I am not sure. I have tried both existing queries and output files and Excel files as well as created brand-new ones. I have Googled this problem and searched the IBM support site for hours and, although I have found some references to this issue, I haven’t found a satisfactory solution. A colleague has had this problem for quite some time and no one has ever been able to fix it for him. But he and I work on completely separate queries and spreadsheets. I have tried the transfers both with and without the “Convert CCSID 65535″ box checked in the Data Transfer program and while that does indeed translate from hex into English, every record is in a huge single-column text string. I tried the Excel “text-to-columns” function but in some of my bigger files, the precision required to parse these records is just too much for this manual process. I have some very large projects to complete and I really need to get these Excel files into a usable condition quickly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have an Excel template for a download for a group of users. The cell containing the formula was requested by management to be locked due to some of the users incorrectly removing the formula or leaving old data in cells outside the screen view area. I have one user that is able to use the template and transfer with no issues and 5 others that cannot. Our infrastructure person figures it is a setting that is different in the Excel and/or machine of the user that has full access. All other users receive an error message stating the cell they are trying to update is locked. Does anyone have any ideas on what to try? I have recreated the Template and tried only formula locking as well as cell locking following Excel’s methodology. I have even tried adding VBA commands to the Excel workbook. Thanks for any help that may be offered.

i have the excel add on installed and it seems to be working well on tables with less than 16,xxx rows. 

1. can anyone help me find out if there is a more up to date add on for excel 2007?

2. My AS400 is really old.  Can anyone help me find a way to determine if it is an iseries. (i did find some information on the internet that was for an iSeries, but i think my AS400 system is older than that.)

I’m grateful for any and all suggestions.

Thank you
