Hi Graham,

It could be that I'm really tired (and I am), but step 3 of Method 1 says:

   Click "Results in Text"

So we're no longer in "Grid" mode. The article therefore doesn't tell us how to get the header-row of the grid results into Excel. I'd like to do that.

You ask "What does this mean? Are you saying that you knew innately that you had to set Results output format as Tab Delimited?". Well, yes. I use Excel a little bit, and SQL Server a lot. I've been putting results into Excel this way for years. You are correct that it's not entirely natural as it was learned behaviour, but it's as natural to me as eating pizza.

Regards

Lance
