Formatting Excel spreadsheet with asp

I'm using the Excel application object to create a
spreadsheet from a recordset. Everything seems to work
fine except any date fields are not displaying properly.
For example 4/18/2004 is displaying as 38095 in the
spreadsheet.

I loop through the recordset to display each row. The
line that actually writes out the field is:

objSpreadsheet. Cells(iRow, iCol).Value = objField.Value

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Josh Schmidt

To make sure you get formats right, "reverse engineer" the HTML by creating
a sample file in Excel and save it as HTML - look at the resulting HTML as
an example of what you need to do.

I'm successfully using Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" to generate an Excel spreadsheet from an asp page and a SQL Server database. One of the columns contains data that is a long number (13 characters eg. 1122334444566). The spreadsheet does not display the number correctly because the column is formatted as 'General' so it displays 1.12233E+12. To correct this in Excel I simply change the column type to number.

I have a TransferSpreadsheet process in my Access 97 database that sends data out to an Excel spreadsheet formatted with a Times New Roman 10 point font, centered text, etc... This always works fine until data gets exported into a cell on the spreadsheet that never had data in it before. The data uses the default font (usually MS Sans Serif), is not centered, and will not wrap. When I originally formatted the spreadsheet I selected the...

I am trying to display dates in a spreadsheet, but the dates need to be in a format that will allow them to be sorted in Excel. The datatype in the SQL Server database is datetime. In this case, I need to display the date only, not the time. But I don't want to change the datatype in the database because the time is used in other places. So what I am doing is pulling it out of the database, then modifying it in ASP/VBScript by using the...
