Roland,

I am able to get an excel file created with nothing in it, but I am
obviously confused on how I populate the excel sheet with my array? Thanks,

Brian

I forgot which nice person on this list share this with me, but here it is:

You get your resultset or what you want in the excel file into an array or a
variable containing an html table.

That's in your query action
Then you create a text action that has this in it:

<@EXCLUDE>
<@ASSIGN local$DebugMode "ForceOff">
<@ASSIGN local$FileExtension ".xls">
<@ASSIGN local$FileName value="web_name_export"> <@comment>or whatever you
want the file to be named.</@comment> <@ASSIGN local$Tab '<@CHAR CODE="9">'>
<@ASSIGN local$httpHeader 'HTTP/1.1 <@HTTPSTATUSCODE>
<@HTTPREASONPHRASE><@CRLF>Content-type:
application/vnd.ms-excel<@CRLF>Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=<@VAR local$FileName><@VAR local$FileExtension><@CRLF>Location:
http://<@CGIPARAM SERVER_NAME>/<@VAR local$FileName><@VAR
local$FileExtension><@CRLF><@CRLF>'>
<@ASSIGN local$encodeResults FALSE>
<@PURGERESULTS>
</@EXCLUDE><@PURGERESULTS><@var request$exceldata encoding="none">

----
Then your excel file will automatically download.
