What I need to do is, I am using db_browser (if you are not familiar it is a freescript over at cgi.resourceindex.com, that lets you search your db via the web) on our intranet, our chief engineer came and asked me if I could take the results of a search and export it to excel for easier manipulation. Any idea's how to do this, ideally there should just be a link on the bottom of the search results page that when clicked will convert the results and then download the file to the users computer. feel free to contact me swSPAMap@swapSPAMboxen.com if I didn't include enough info. Rob remove the SPAM from my email to contact me
