Some more stuff on dealing with Excel from ASP pages:
If you create a workbook in the manner suggested by Larry, it will not be
accessible via the Jet driver. You will get an error stating that the file
is not in the format expected. This can be a problem sometimes if you want
to import the file into another app to do something further with it. The
same is true of reverse-engineered Word docs. For example, Quark refuses to
recognise them as genuine Word docs and opens them up as HTML.
I haven't found a way to add worksheets to the reverse-engineered version of
an xls file, which supports Larry's observation that you can only write to
one sheet using the method he suggested.
With a genuine workbook, you can also access the file using ADOX to
establish the number of tables etc. Apparently, you can use DDL to DROP
tables (worksheets) but when I tried, they steadfastly remained in the
workbook. No error was reported.
The following can be adapted to VBScript easily enough:

I haven't tried this, but there appears to be another way to achieve what
you want:

Create a workbook called Book1.xls, and put it in the same directory as
the following script, making sure you have set the appropriate permissions
on the directory:
<%
strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="_
& Server.Mappath("Book1.xls") & ";Extended Properties=""Excel
8.0;HDR=Yes;"""
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Open strConn
sql = "Create Table Test1 (Username TEXT, Surname TEXT)"
Conn.execute(sql)
sql = "Insert INTO [Test1$] (Username, Surname) VALUES ('Mike', 'Brind')"
Conn.execute(sql)
sql = "Create Table Test2 (Username TEXT, Surname TEXT)"
Conn.execute(sql)
sql = "Insert INTO [Test2$] (Username, Surname) VALUES ('Mike', 'Brind')"
Conn.execute(sql)
Conn.Close
Response.Write "Done"

hi Everyone,
I have two questions on exporting data to Excel using ASP (w/o
converting
formatted excel file into web page and then plug in the dynamic
data):
1. Can we export data into different sheets at Excel?
2. Can we do graph at export?
1. No, you can only do 1 sheet.
No, you can write to any sheet in the book. You can even use DDL to
create
new worksheets and write to them.
