Where are you doing the save as?

If you mean where am I saving it to, just a folder on my PC. If you mean
what was the environment when I did the SAVE AS, I was in Excel which was
automatically opened when I clicked on the link in the web site. As you can
see from my posting on 3/28 at 7:55 a.m., the problem has been solved by
using SAVE TARGET AS, so now it's just a matter of curiosity.

1 - Why did the behavior change on the web site? Credit Card company keeps
saying they don't do "technical" support (although I went to that link) and
I should consult my ISP. I hate these automated "helps." Maybe it's SP 2's
doing???

2 - Why does the first column lack quotes when opened automatically by the
web site?

Oh well, some mysteries are meant to remain mysteries.
Thanks for responding.
