I work as a contrctor for a foortune 500 company, who refuses to install SP1 or any subsequent SP. As a result the Excel reports I generate via ASP are not rendering properly. there's actually several different manifestations. My question is does anyone know what was fixed in SR1 (YES sR1, service release.
how I can "fix" the reports without requiring the whole company to install SP3? which I believe is included in SP3)regarding excel? ALso they have one app that successfully generates the excel reports, but it is in .NET and I can't get the source code.
i know, this shouldnt be a conundrum right? one just shouldnt divide by zero. but this is suddenly happening *all over* my site. after chasing the error here and there, i simplified things down to:
response.write cstr(4/2) response.end
and i STILL get the error: Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000b' Division by zero [followed by the line on which the error occurs]
so i know it's not my code. how can you get a division by zero error when you'r dividing with CONSTANTS??? did i change some obscure setting or something?now mind you, i tried "response.write cstr(4+2)" and the system managed to output "6".
I have an ASP function in place to strip invalid chars out of a data store before I create an XML file of this data, but my function doesn't work on a certain set of chars.

Even though my function is set up as follows: Code:

I've an asp page which brings back a query and displays it in a table. The query takes around 30 seconds. Once the page displays they will have an option to send it to excel.
From the examples I've seen they all require the query to be re-ran again in asp (i.e. server side scripting) and as it takes 30 seconds to start with I want to try and take out the repeat of the query. Does anyone know of any way you can do this in asp by passing the already executed table to asp or via any other method?

I have an ASP file which is opened in MS Excel. I have used the "formatNumber" function to set the number of decimals for variables which are displayed. however Excel cuts off any zeros at the end. e.g 4.650 displays as 4.65
the number of decimals I want to display to varies across the page, e.g. I cant say "display the whole with 3 decimal places" Is there any code I can put in my ASP page to stop Excel truncating zeros at the end?

I'm working on some reports, and have added the ability to "download" the reports to excel. Not a big deal, fairly straight forward. However, PHB wants to be able to create some pivot tables from said reports (again.. no biggie) and when he goes to save the file, Excel wants to save the file as a web page instead of and Excel spreadsheet.
Now.. I know the simple thing here is to just pick Excel from the drop down box in the save as dialog.. but.. PHB would "prefer" to not have to do that.
Has anyone been able to jump this hurdle before? My good friend google hasn't turned anything up. My preference is to give PHB the middle finger.. but alas.. the paycheck is keeping me from doing that.
I have an asp, sql business application. Want to give export option of all reports to excel and pdf. Can I get that code which can embedd in the asp pages to create this function?
I need on-site manager's to be able to view a list of records on our website (which they already can do). They need to be able to select any/all fields and then export these items to an excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet will have dynamically created columns/rows to append and life is good.
What's the best way to go about this? I've used DTS to do this before, but it's been a long time and I can't remember if there's a way to handle this kind of stuff on a dynamic basis.
I guess my real question is: Is there a way to do this via ASP or should I stick with a more SQL based approach?

I need to write an ASP page that will allow users to upload an Excel file, the contents of which should then be imported into an SQL database. Problem I am facing is how to do this efficiently. So far I have a page that will accept an upload, then display the data from the Excel file, my first thought was to loop each row, then run an update/insert based on the data found...Obviously this is not going to be very efficient, I'd exepect time outs often Has anyone got any ideas to get round this?
I can connect to an Excel worksheet and get records with no problem, if I know the worksheet's name. However, when my users upload their excel files, I don't know what the active sheet they want to work from is called.
I have two options - either force them all to give the saem name to every worksheet they upload, or providing them with an input field where they can provide the name of the relevant worksheet
Rather than force my users to name all their worksheets "sheet1", is there a way I can use ASP to find out the names of the worksheets in a workbook?
You know how you can connect an ASP page to a SQL server to retrieve data from a database/table and display it. Well what I want to do is connect my ASP page to an Excel spreadsheet and retrive the data and display the info on my ASP page. How do i go about doing this?

I'm creating a Excel file from a recordset with ASP which is working fine, if you choose to save the file, by default the 'Save as type' option is 'xls' which is correct. The problem is that i'm trying to use the spread sheet as a datasource and display the results. This is giving me an error. If i then open up the spreadsheet and save as the 'Save as type' now displays 'webpage html'. If i then change it to 'xls' i can then use it as a datasource without any problems.
Is there a way i can save the file and have it remain as 'xls'?The code i'm using to create the spreadsheet is:
<% 'output to spreadsheet Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
