XL.Cells(i, j).Borders(xlEdgeLeft).Weight = xlThin

Hi Pat,



It might be that the constant xlThin is available in VB because the 

process of referencing the XL object also loads in the constants.  Since 

you cannot "reference" the XL object in ASP, that would explain why the 

contants aren't avaialable. If this is the case, you will have to find out 

the value of xlThin and code it in, or "include" a file with the xl 

constants.



Here are the values of some commonly used xl constants:

Const xlVAlignCenter = -4108;

Const xlThin = 2;

Const xlEdgeBottom = 9;

Const xlDouble = -4119;

Const xlThick = 4;

Const xl3DColumn = -4100;

Const xlColumns = 2;

Const xlLocationAsObject = 2;
