creating a spreadsheet

I'm creating a spreadsheet online via ASP. I have the following at the page
top...

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

It works fine for some 60+ manufacturer listings. However, it balks on one
single manufacturer. By chance, this manuf has 18,000+ records. The others,
less than 10,000. Is there a limit to the number of records I can convert to
XLS...?

thanks!

I wouldn't think it's a programmatic limitation. How many records more than
18,000? Excel 2000 for example can only handle 65536 rows. What behaviour
are you seeing when it balks? Try commenting out the content-disposition
line to let the page render as HTML and see what the error message says. Is
your script timing-out?

There's 18,587 records. I commented out this line...
<% Response.AddHea der "Content-Disposition", "filename=FullL ist.xls" %>
....and no difference at all.

I get a message box that says...
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested
site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.

I can select any other manufacturer and it works as planned. The only
difference I notice is the number of records.

thanks!

You might see that msg if the format of the file is incorrect. Try
commenting out the line that changes the content-type, not the
content-disposition (my mistake sorry). You should be able to render the
same output as HTML. What format is the data in as it's being rendered; an
HTML table, CSV, tab-separated?

Thanks very much! I commented out the lines and got this error: Response
Buffer Limit Exceeded. A search on that error suggests raising the
AspBufferingLim it setting in Metabase.xml. It did have something to do with
the size of the records after all.
thanks!
