Dataset to excel

Hi and TIA! I have a recordset retrieved into a datgrid in my web app, from
an SQL database that I want to save as an excel formatted file. I would
like the user to click a button, get a prompt to save/name the file. Is
this possible and if so where can I find information on accomplishing this
task. Any advice is appreciated. Using (.Net 1.1 / VS2003 / SQL Server
2000 / WinXP Pro). I posted to several groups cause not sure the best place
to ask the question.
Thanks for your time.

Steve, Exactly what I've been trying to accomplish. I'm a little new at
ASP.Net and the .Net Framework stuff, but I'm getting there. Thanks again
for you time and advice. Take care.
