I am using the code below to create an excel document from data that is returned from an sql query. The formatting of the excel document is pretty and all is good unless I hit the back button and run my query a second time, or a third time (I haven't made it past 3
times). Basically what happens is every time I do this, excel does not close once I hit my back button. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Another problem is that when I run the query it just opens excel within my browser, is there any way to make it ask if you want to save or open the file?
I basically throw this code at the top of the html doc: .....
I want to create an Excel object from an ASP page. Basically, the input parameters to the Excel would be from the ASP. I know ASP and I know VBA, but I haven't used both of them together. Here's what I would like to do -
The ASP should generate an Excel report by passing 2 parameters to the Excel application (I have done this independently; without interfacing with ASP).
I know that I can create an excel handle from the ASP as -
Set MyExcel = Server.CreateObject("Excel.Application")
I dont know where the VBA code has to go? DO I have to include it in the ASP?
With response.contenttype = "application/vnd.ms-excel", I can easily export my data to Excel which is embeded and shown within a browser. If I'm going to save the Excel file through ASP programming, which method can I use? I need to save the data to Excel file with dynamic name (the file name should contain key values and appended with system datetime).
I am using a SQL database, and Classic ASP and trying to generate an Excel file with my results, but the table is displaying as HTML in the browser instead of prompting the user to download/open the file. below is my code (edited data table for length). Anyone know why I am not being prompted, but shown the data via the webpage?
I am exporting data from a web application to Excel to allow users to manipulate their data. I can open up the data in Excel. If the user wants to view information about 3 separate clients, how can I put that information on 3 separate worksheets.
I can display the 3 clients on one worksheet, but I need it to be on 3 separate worksheets.
I have a new approach to saving charts from server-side Excel when ASP pages are processed. The charts show weather data that is updated every 15 minutes in a database, and instead of just automating the chart production so that every chart is generated every 15 minutes, 24 hrs/day, it seems smarter to generate up to date charts when people want to look at them. But I'm not sure if this is the best approach.
This is what I can do from an ASP page to dynamically chart data:
- run Excel on the server - open a Worksheet that has a customized chart for a range of cells. - insert new data in the charted range of cells (chart auto-updates). - save the chart to a gif file. - insert the gif into the html page viewed by the client.
Using this approach is convenient because I can customize charts to look exactly as I want without having to find the documentation to automate the chart formatting.
Is it possible to run Excel once on the server, and let all requests for charts use this one running instance of Excel? The alternative is that Excel will run once for each chart request, this seems like it could get out of hand pretty quickly if a lot of people are trying to look at charts at the same time.
Are there better ways to generate charts dynamically on the server?

I've been trying to Google this but have been getting far too many hits to be of use. Is there a slick way to generate a CSV or other Excel-friendly format and push it to the client? I'm using VBScript (and HTML and other typical stuff of course) on the ASP pages (no .NET stuff). Just a shove in the right direction is all I really need here.

I noticed that PHP have the ability to create PDF files without using any third partty componentys. Most notably is via FPDF. It generates PDF by using "pdf markups" / or ghostscripts .
I believe the same can be done via ASP too. One has to use response.write pdf headers. Has anyone succeeded in doing that? I have the intention to go thru PHP's FPDF and try to convert that to VBScript.

I am creating a site to show artists work. I have a database and can retrieve and display a list of artisits, other info, and a related image for each artist - all drawn from the respective entries on the database.
What i would like to do is then use that record to dynamically generate another page that would display more detailed information about that one specific artist that the user clicks on - again drawn from that entry in the database, (rather than merely linking to a static html page - which would require making some 120 extra pages).
