I think what you would want to do is the following: 1) Create the xls file on the server 2) Serve the file to the browser 3) If the user likes the data, email the file that resides on the server 4) Delete the file from the server.

My Question :- Is it possible for me to get the excel file .xls from the data displayed on the browser(which is also in excel format).?? I know that if I set the response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel"); I can give user the option to save or open the excel file. I do not want the user to save the file directly. The file needs to be emailed to him along with some other files. Hence, again, my question is - is it possible to write to an excel file directly from the browser excel format. How could this be done? Thanks much, qgh __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
