I've recently re-loaded windows on my machine and haven't got'n around to
reloading M$ Office, so I can't give you examples at the moment..... But
As you may or may not know, Excel has the full power of VBA (visual basic
for applications) behind it. I don't want to touch off a religious war as to
the merits or detriments of VBA, but I'm certain that it has the ability to
manage hexadecimal numbers, even if you have to convert them to strings and
write your own hex conversion routines. Bottom line, it can be done.

If you have trouble with it, let me know. I'll have Office re-installed in a
couple days and can provide some code examples, ect.

Good Luck
Denny

BTW: Excel has some impresive exporting tools, maybe there's a tool you more
comfortable working with. :>)
