Have you tried opening the Excel sheet you want the results to appear in and then: - run the query to populate the results grid; - right click the results grid and select "export dataset"; - set the export type to "excel instance"; - enter a name for the sheet that will be created; - ok. The results grid will be saved as a new sheet on the already open Excel spreadsheet. If Excel is closed, set the export type to be 'Excel File' and give it a name before clicking OK.

I only ever put data (from Toad) into Excel using the export dataset option. In Toad 9, that was named "save grid". If you are having trouble using a normal Copy & Paste, then it could be that Toad 10 is Unicode enabled while Excel might not be? Cheers, Norm.
