I'm having a brain fade - - How do I get the BOM to be an Excell version and not the SW version. I have excell 2000 on my machine but I just can't remeber the way to get an Excel BOM into a drawing rather than the SW BOM. The excel BOM is greyed out on the Insert BOM list. I've looked through the help but just can't find anythin specific to this written for idiots like me Thanks in advance Jonathan
