Hi
Thank you for showing interest in answering. Sorry I did not come back but I found a solution and did not get an oppertunity to check for an answer to my question. I know also I horrible in explaining code. But if you are interested in knowing what happened then I'll show you what I did:
saData is a String array of the data from the database that I'v already read. What I quite stupidly forgot to do was insert a semi colon between the columns. So that when you opened the file in Excell using Office 2000. Then the Excell function that places data could differentiate between the column.
And by adding a "end of line" to each String that was written to the file I differentiated between the rows
RandomAccessFile randomFile = null;
long fLength = 0;
try
     //Onthou om dieverandering aan te bring vir die arrays
     File f = new File(sPath[0] + sFile[0]);
     randomFile = new RandomAccessFile(f, "rw");
     if (f.exists())
          fLength = f.length();
          randomFile.seek(fLength);
     for (int i = 0; i < saData.length; i++)
          String sBatch = "";
          for (int d = 0; d < saData.length; d++)
               sBatch += saData[i][d];
          sBatch += "\n";
          randomFile.writeBytes(sBatch);
          sBatch = null;
     randomFile.close();
catch (IOException io)
I would again like to say thank you for your interest.
