DataExpress as the swiss army knife of data extraction tools will actually


1) Allow you to "Query" the database and then
2) Pick an output format - SLK which imports into EXCEL is one of the
choices,
    there are 27 others ... (SLK will also import into most other MAC
APPS)
3) Will allow you to use EXCEL to directly access IMAGE KSAM or MPE files
on Windows platforms ... sorry not enough paying customers to fund the MAC
ODBC project.

There is even a DataExpress Jr. Which sells for $995.00 (although 24 of
the last 26 purchasers upgraded to add more options)

Thanks for the bandwidth ...
