The distinction is that the TDS running on motherlode happens to provide the grid as point service and has nothing to do with the IDV.

IN the display's File menu you can select File->Save->Export all times as CSV -Jeff Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: SBV-126709 Department: Support IDV Priority: Critical Status: Closed
