Hello nagen,

Create attach and allow user to download it. What's the problem?

Smth like that
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=Test.xls");
Response.WriteFile("myfile.xls");

Hi Nagen,

isn't enough to embed the excel file by declaring the mime type in the
html document?
