Thanks Chris, Is there a way to open several files at the same time into several Excel worksheets? (but in the same/one work book)?

You are on the right track with setting the content type. Put this in a template and try it. $data.setContentType( "application/vnd.ms-excel" ) <table> <tr> <td>text1</td> <td>1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>text2</td> <td>2</td> </tr> </table> It is even possible to put special strings in the TD tags to use Excel formatting and Excel formulas in the resulting spreadsheet. Let me know if you want more information.
