Sure you can, but not with an MXML tag or ActionScript 2.0 code. If you are using J2EE as your server-side, then you need to create a Java class that given your datagrid data, spews it into an XLS file. There are numerous ways of doing this for Excel; do a search on Java and Excel, or take a look at the following Apache Jakarta project: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/ which provides you with aa Java API to read/write Microsoft format files. If you write a service that writes an Excel file, it is then trivial to take the data from a datagrid, package it into a client-side ActionScript object representation, and use RemoteObject tag to invoke your server-side service that uses POI or similar to write to the file format. So ... achievable, but you'll need to do this across multiple tiers of a Flex app (Presentation, client-side business tier and server-side business tier) rather than in a single piece of code. Hope this provides you all the hints you need to go and do an implementation ... I don't have any code to share. best, Steven -- Steven Webster Technical Director iteration::two This e-mail and any associated attachments transmitted with it may contain confidential information and must not be copied, or disclosed, or used by anyone other than the intended recipient(s).
