Create an actual Excel file. A tab delimited file is not the same as an
Excel file. You created the file programatically?
If you do it as a csv and give it a csv extension, it's more than likely
that it'll open in Excel on most machines. But even then, that does not
mean that it's an Excel file. It's then just a comma separated values file.

I have created an Excel spreadsheet for the web. When it opens in IE
6.0 I get the message that the format is not supported. This is because
it is in tab delimited format. Ane when I save the file, It saves it as
txt. How can this file be created so that Excel sees it as an .xls
format. I created the data in VB 6.0 with a vbtab to seperate the
columns.
Hope this is enough information.
Thanks for the help,
Jim
