Exporting a vb.net datagrid to excel

Hi All :-)
>
I'm using .Net Framework 1.1, VB and need to be able to download the data
from a datagrid into an Excel 2000 spreadsheet for our accounting users.
Can anyone please point me to a good link on how to do this or give me some
pointers? TIA,

Hi Mrozu :-)

I tried your code and get this error:
"Cannot create ActiveX component. "

Here is the code that I am using:
Public Sub send_to_excel()
Dim Excel As Object
Dim intRow As Integer = 0
Dim intColumnValue As Integer = 0
Dim strDir As String = ""
Dim strFilename As String = ""
Dim ds As DataSet
Dim dt As DataTable = idt_final_report
>
Excel = CreateObject("Excel.application")
>
With Excel
.SheetsInNewWorkbook = 1
.Workbooks.Add()
.Worksheets(1).Select()
>
'To display the column value row-by-row in the excel file
For intRow = 0 To ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1
>
For intColumnValue = 0 To ds.Tables(0).Columns.Count - 1
.cells(intRow + 1, intColumnValue + 1).value.ToString()
ds.Tables(0).Rows(intRow).ItemArray(intColumnValue ).ToString()
Next
>
Next
>
.activeWorkbook().SaveAs(strDir & strFilename)
.activeWorkbook.close()
End With
Excel.Quit()
Excel = Nothing
GC.Collect()
>
End Sub
>
I know I haven't defined the filename or file directory, but I wanted to
test it first and see if it would even read the datatable I already have
established. It seems to set the Datatable to idt_final_report just fine,
but on the very next line for Excel = CreateObject("Excel.application"), I
get the error. Can you please explain a little more? What am I missing?
Do you know of a link that shows how to do this? Thanks so much for your
time.

Hi,

so the problem is when u don't have installed Excel on your machine;)

this code is only available when you have it installed. Sorry that I
haven't told you that.
