How about going into Excel,  Click on the DATA tab, Select "Get External
Data",
Select "Create New Query",  Pick your AS/400 as a data source,  key in the
query
request and it will map straight into the Excel Spread Sheet.

Download?  we don't need no stinking download.

Gee,  The AS/400(aka DB/400)  is just another data source.
