generate spreadsheet

<% Response.conten ttype = "applicatio n/vnd.ms-excel" %>
<% Response.AddHea der "Content-Disposition", "filename=hardw are.xls" %>

I'm using the above lines to generate a spreadsheet from a recordset. One of
the recordset fields has HTML data. Whenever the spreadsheet is generated,
it will place some of the HTML data into new rows. Same appropriate column,
but different rows. Is there a way around this?

Is there an easy to create a DBF or CSV file that would work?
thanks

I was hoping to do is export that field into an excel cell
so that a user can cut-n-paste straight into their own
pages.

How do I do that?


Create a two or three row sample spreadsheet in Excel. Use typical expected
data. Save as HTML. Reverse engineer.

Also consider simply wrapping the contents in PRE, XMP, SAMP or CODE tags.

Hi I'm trying to use XSLT to do an xml to xml transformation where the output xml contains summary data on the information in the input xml.
