Mark,
I'm not sure if I was clear with my request. I want to do something similar
to below from the web page to have it create a Word document (instead of
Excel like the example). Thanks.
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.excel"
Response.Charset = ""
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=search.xls")
Dim gv As New GridView
Dim strSQL As String
Dim conFileData As SqlConnection
Dim cmdSel As SqlCommand
conFileData = New
SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrin gs("FiledataConnectionString").ConnectionString)
conFileData.Open()
strSQL = txtExcelSQL.Text
'Get records based on sql
cmdSel = New SqlCommand(strSQL, conFileData)
Dim dtr As SqlDataReader
dtr = cmdSel.ExecuteReader()
gv.DataSource = dtr
gv.DataBind()
dtr.Close()
conFileData.Close()
Dim sw As New StringWriter()
Dim htw As New System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(sw)
EnableViewState = False
gv.RenderControl(htw)
Response.Write(sw.ToString())
Response.End()

>>I have an ASP.Net 2.0 intranet application and would like to be able to
send a name and address to an msword content type or something. I want to
first just send out the person's name and address to the upper-left
portion of the newly created .doc format so the user can finish the letter
and save/print the letter. I have done some exporting to Excel from a
GridView but I'm not sure how to create in Word.
All users have Microsoft Word and IE6+. Thanks.
Firstly, under no circumstances attempt to do Office automation in
ASP.NET - it's not supported by Microsoft because it's just not designed
to work in this environment:

Luckily, your requirements do not require automation, and are extremely
simple.
Basically, just create an HTML document and then save it with a .doc
extension.
As an example, open Notepad, paste the text below, and then save it as
Bill.doc
<html>
<body>
Bill Gates<br />
Microsoft Corporation<br />
Redmond<br />
<br />
Dear Bill,<br />
<br />
</body>
</html>
Now double-click the newly created "Word" document - Word will treat it
just like a native Word document.
