I have an intranet application written in asp using access as the backend database. My users have requested they be able to download certain data into an excel spreadsheet. I have limited asp experience and could use some help.
Ideally, the user would be prompted to save and name the file (save as dialogue) and then the data would be selected and saved into that file. I know I can use a select statement to select data directly into an excelspreadsheet using:
SELECT * INTO [Excel 8.0;Database=" & lcPathFile & "].[Sheet1] FROM myTable
I have created a script that parses and excel file and inserts the data in an Access table. The script works perfectly fine, however I also need to extract a column comments via my script.Column comment is like a tool tip for any given column and therefore it occurs only on mouse hover, not in the actual column data.
I have an Excel database of Names and Email addresses that I have to use to send a monthly automated newsletter to. The thing is that my application uses Access, and I am not sure how I can avoid having to maintain two seperate databases. I have to take the Excel DB and convert it to Access, every time there is an update. Then change field names, and db structure for use in my app.
Do any of you know how I can have it either automated, or made a little less time consuming, and simple to maintain?

Info will be sent from an HTML form, [an inventory report] various drop down lists, text boxes, etc.
This info from the form is then added to the mdb, but an administrator needs to pull the same form back to add further info to complete the form, [cookies?] and finally it gets exported to excel format and saved on the server. Also an admin page needs setting up so "admin" can confirm when some reports are completed and when others need completing, maybe this could be the way the first part of the form could be stored and pulled back from ? Could it all be done in MS office applications?

I know the basic way of doing this when you have a static set of spreadsheets but I need to be able to process different spreadsheets every day. These spreadsheets are sent to us by an outside auditing firm without named ranges. They have a consistent format. Is there a way to read a specific set of cells without having a named range? Or is there a way to name a range with ASP? I am open to any options here. Going through and creating named ranges is the only thing that wont work sicnce it would take more work than processing the files by hand.

Is anyone aware of a 255 character limit when reading data from a particular Excel cell? I'm experiencing when pulling straight text from an Excel spreadsheet, which otherwise works fine. Right at 255 characters, the data is truncated and I only see that bit of information.I've searched Google and came up with a few registry modifications, neither of which fixed the issue. Has anyone else ran into this?
