Vibhor,

Thank you for the quick and accurate response. I did not recognize the
View Data to be the "Edit Grid". I have used the View Data on several
occasions. OTOH, the Export was well hidden within the File menu of the
Query Tool. Very good! The documentation probably should point this
out. The doc's was not crystal clear how to get to the Export option.

Again, thanks for the insight with regards to Exporting, and refresher
of the View Data (Edit grid).

Dale.
