Hi Chad,

You can generate the file as (Office 2007) XML. When Office 2007 is released to
market there will be file converters available that will allow all versions of
Office back to 2000 to open this file format.

Hi chad
         I use this code to export a Asp.net datagrid data to excel if that
is what you want.
   Protected Sub ExportExl_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)

       Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
       Response.Charset = ""
       Me.EnableViewState = False

       ' Get the DataGrid HTML from the control,
       ' then write straight to the browser
       Dim objSW As New System.IO.StringWriter()
       Dim objHTW As New System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(objSW)
       ShowAll.RenderControl(objHTW)
       Response.Write(objSW.ToString())
       Response.End()
   End Sub
I hope it helps
Nitin
