I've been reading through all related Excel posts now for about an hour as well as Googling for my answer and I'm getting even more cornfuzed as I go. I have an Existing Excel Spreadsheet, I need to populate certain fields of the form with values from a Database.
I have no problems connecting to my database and pulling up the data, but I have no idea where to begin with opening my existing spreadsheet, then telling it which worksheet to use and then how to populate the fields I need.
I'm not looking for an entire code handout, this is just something that I haven't attempted before in ASP. If someone could just give a quick example of first opening the existing spreadsheet, selecting the correct worksheet and populating 1 field, I think I can figure everything else out from there.
I have my excel spreadsheet generating just fine. What I'm trying to do is format each cell to something other than "general" I've figure out how to format to currency:
<td>$<%=variable%></td>
I really need to format to "text" though. Anyone have a good link to a chart that explains how to format to all of the different possibilites, or just how to format to text?
I'm successfully using Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" to generate an Excel spreadsheet from an asp page and a SQL Server database.One of the columns contains data that is a long number (13 characters eg. 1122334444566).The spreadsheet does not display the number correctly because the column is formatted as 'General' so it displays 1.12233E+12.To correct this in Excel I simply change the column type to number. How do I get around this in asp.
I know I could use fso to create the spreadsheet on the server using a template, but I prefer to do it on the client side so that I don't accumulate a whole lot of xls files on the server.
I am creating a website in which users will be able to query an sql database by several different criteria (i.e.- name, department,supplier, part#, date). What will return to the user will be a webpage with the column headings that they selected in their search criteria (i.e.- name, supplier, part#) and below those column headings, a list of the results.
I want the user to be able to print this report or export it to an excel file, this is the part that is tripping me up.Any ideas about this? Am I going about it all wrong?
I'm using the Excel application object to create a spreadsheet from a recordset. Everything seems to work fine except any date fields are not displaying properly. For example 4/18/2004 is displaying as 38095 in the spreadsheet.

I want 2 create a survey Web Form that people can fill in. I then want the data entered to be saved to an Excel spreadsheet located on a server.
Can .ASP handle this kind of task? and if so does anyone know the code required to perform this function?
The data entered will be RAW and the .ASP (or whatever required programming) will need 2 process and convert the data into the spreadsheet.
Also, would it be possible to run this from a stand alone machine so that the web form, .ASP and spreadsheet are all contained on the machine and have no outside influences?

We have an ASP site that hits up an Access database of categories of products and products. (e.g. Categories = Napkins, Tablecloths; Products = 20x20 Napkins, 21x21 Napkins, 54x54 Tablecloths, 60x60 Tablecloths)
We currently have select boxes that when you select a category, it populates the next select box with the proper list of products (i.e. I select Napkins as a category, I get a listing of the Napkins)
We would like to put a clickable link before each of these select boxes that would pull up a pop up with links from the records from the proper table.
(e.g. I click the categories link and a popup with html anchor tags of Napkins and Tablecloths appear) I click on the Napkins anchor and it populates the Categories Select box with Categories and Napkins being selected.

i am having a problemn thinking on a solution to make a web application. This is the scenario: I have to make an application that should catch some user data on the screen and pass it to a database. Here is the problemn: the data that the user will pass is huge. I am talking about some columns and 27 rows.
3 rows as caption rows and the other 24 to get the data. How can i do that? I thought about making columns with textboxes (with ids like R1C1, R2C2, R1C4...) in a dynamic table inside a form and submit it.

I have created an asp page that resemebles that of a spreadsheet. It contains mostly javascript functions. The page functions ok except when there are a significant amount of row entered.

I am writing an ASP page that uses the Spreadsheet Office 200o Web Component. I need a cell to open up a popup window when clicked. I can only get a new page to display using hyperlink. I want this to be a popup page like the one you can create using window.open().
Can this be done? Can I do this using some window/Spreadsheet events, can a SpreadSheet cell contain a call to a javascript method? I would like one of the columns to contain not only a hyperlink but also be displayed as an image of type *.gif. Is this doable?
I have created a Spreadsheet object that I need to stream directly to a file through the browser. I can not save this file, that I would then stream, to the web server, even though this would save me a lot of aggravation.

I am semi-new to ASP. I'm in the process of making several reports and I wanted to condense one of our reports to fit nicely on a web page. This report consists of about 5 different queries.
I want to make a table like the one below in ASP. I thought I would just make a table and go from there but I quickly realized I can't.
I would like to know if and how it would be possible to create an entry-screen that allows the user to enter data in a database, using a spreadsheet/table-like entry screen. The screen would start of having headers for each column/field and an empty row underneath. When each column in the row is filled in, the user must have an option to add another row.
I'm look for the code/explanation that helps me set up the entry screen, and the ASP code to add the entered data in the database.
I can imagine that each entered row is added to the table when a new row is added, or a button is pressed and then the screen refreshes with the newly entered information and a new row...
