The only way I can think of is..
1. Run the query and create an FSO temporary file.
2. Display the contents of the FSO file to the user.
3. Put a button on the screen asking if they want to download the file.
4. If yes, download the FSO file.
Other than that, the displayed items would have to be cut and paste to
notepad or something.
Another option may be to use Crystal Reports or create a Adobe PDF file
but that costs $$$$$

Subject: [asp_databases] Providing data downloadable in simple doc
format
Beginner here.... one of my asp pages basically displays SQL query
results. I'd also like to make them available to download as a simple
report. I don't know how to do it dynamically or if I need the code to
save the data first, then provide the download link, either way I don't
know how. Any suggestions or resource web sites?

hi Tom,
check this little article :
http://www.aspfaqs.com/aspfaqs/ShowFAQ.asp?FAQID=3D178
It shows how to display results from recordsets,
but the best thing to do would be to go to:
www.4guysfromrolla.com this site has really nice tutorials and articles.
From my little experience, your code would have to generate an HTML link
to your docuemnts within the server. The user will click and the
document will
pop-up in the browser.
