Create XLS File on Server Through ASP?

[Rob]

I know how to use the
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
command in my ASP page to display the output from my ASP page as an XLS file. I also know how to use the TextStreaming method to create and append to a text file.

My question is how can I create a native XLS file on my webserver such that users can download it (without having to do DataTextToColumns to remove the delimiters)?

Many thanks in advance,
Rob

wow i think that you're crazy

can't you just make a download in CSV format that will be opened with
excel by default?
