Freeze Cells

[Jack]

I am displaying the contents of a dataset to my customer
as an excel spreadsheet and giving them the opportunity to
save the spreadsheet to their local machine. The
spreadsheet has approx 650 rows and 75 columns. The
following code works fine (without the two lines following
the response.end), as far as generating the spreadsheet,
but I added those two lines (the ActiveWindow lines)to try
to freeze the first row so that the headers are always
visible.

I need to do this or flip my columns and rows. Any help
will be appreciated.

Thanks

Jack
