----------------------------------------------------------- From: shahkalpesh Message 3 in Discussion IMHO, Putting the vbscript code on the client side to generate excel file based on the template doesnt seem to be a proper idea The reason being 1) you have to make sure Excel is installed on client machine & there is an Excel template you want a specified dir location 2) you will have to troubleshoot on each client (if it happens to be many clients using your solution), to make it work because of diff browser, dependecies etc Questions can be raised here for eg 1) what if template changes & hence the way in which data is to be written The idea solution would be 1) To use excel object, generate the file, send it via email OR create a file, keep it on server & ask user to click the link to download the file OR change the resposne.contenttype & write the excel file using binarywrite to the browser - Take care of managing memory related to COM object (in .NET specifically) 2) If you have flexibility in terms of buying components, buy a readymade component, which can create & write to Excel files, without having to install Excel (even on the server) For eg. ExcelRW Put everything on server, to attack problems at one source, which may occurr HTH Kalpesh ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/bdotnet/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
