It's a great ActiveX solution for what you are trying to accomplish. The fields can even be manipulated and updated just like Excel. <br /><br />Good Luck!<br />Steve<br /><br />------------<br />Clive Hoggar at 10/11/2000 10:50:19 AM<br /><br />I am struggling! <br />I want to send the results of search of an Access database (OK I admit I am using Frontpage 2000 to generate this results table!) to the visitors browser (IE) in the form of an excel spreadsheet.<br />I have used the Response.ContentType=application/x-msexcel approach but the resulting excel table in the browser is an arrray of little Frontpage bots, not the contents I was expecting! <br /><br />The database results table is fine as a regular html page.<br /><br />What am I missing? <br /><br />HELP! deadline approaching<br />
