Hi Tom,

I know a nice way to make Excel sheets from sqlplus. You can use the markup html tag in sqlplus. Here's an example.

SET LINESIZE 4000
SET VERIFY OFF
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET PAGESIZE 999 SET MARKUP HTML ON ENTMAP ON SPOOL ON PREFORMAT OFF SPOOL c:\temp\test_xls.xls

SELECT object_type

,         SUBSTR( object_name, 1, 30 ) object
,         created
,         last_ddl_time
,         status
FROM      user_objects

SPOOL OFF SET MARKUP HTML OFF ENTMAP OFF SPOOL OFF PREFORMAT ON SET LINESIZE 2000 VERIFY ON FEEDBACK ON Kind regards,
