Please also consider NebulaXLite to create nicely formatted spreadsheets for Excel, OpenOffice, and Google Docs. When you deliver CSV in response to a request for Excel, it's like introducing someone to their new business software that looks like DOS. It just makes the business software seem antiquated and people start looking elsewhere for more modern applications.
NebulaXLite is entirely free and fully functional for developers and VARs that demo their software on end-user systems. You can download it, use it as long as you want, and we won't ever ask you for a penny. For production use, there is a one-time purchase price of $200 for any server that goes live with business reports. There are no additional fees. Support and limited enhancements are always free. There are no connectivity components or any other hidden costs. As a "lite" product, this product model is simply to make it easy for a lot of people to do something that makes MV look good.
