Hi Abu

When I export to Excel, the file is “blocked” and has to be “Unblocked” by right clicking in Windows Explorer, then selecting “Unblock” before trying to open the file; otherwise, I receive the message that the “file is corrupt and cannot be opened”.

When I export “CSV”, I do NOT get the error.

thanks

Tony

Thank you Abu.  I was able to adjust the Trust settings in Excel so that the files do not block anymore.

thanks

Tony
