Using Ruport, a reporting utility that is free, you can give it a sql query and have it dump a .csv file which Excel can read.  Because it is really a library for a programming language, it is capable of a lot.  Without much fuss, it can e-mail reports to you in .csv, in a .pdf, or as .html ...  It works with any open database, hence it works with Dentrix Enterprise.  But since it works with *any* open database, it can get some information from say Dentrix Enterprise and other information from some other database or .csv file or from information out on the web, and combine it into a report.  It's pretty slick.
