Thanks, David J. -- that'll do it! 🙂

As icing on the cake, starting from what you gave, I may prefer to let an export task do most of the work of creating the spreadsheet, and just use ADO in VBScript for:

objExcel.Range("A1:AD1").Font.Bold = TRUE

objExcel.Range("A1:AD1").Interior.ColorIndex = 6

If you have comments, they are appreciated.

Thanks again...
