hi all.. 

i use the Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" directive to 
do excel output for some reports. The problem is that we have Office XP on 
the server and this above mentioned directive generates excel XP output. 
The problem is that if the client doesn?t have Office XP installed, then 
they cannot read the content we are offering them. our clients have office 
2000. Is there a way to do some on-the-fly conversion, by checking the 
client's version of office installation? 

are there any components that help in converting an excel XP document to 
an excel 2000 document? 

thanks
