asp_web_howto thread: ASP to Word

Message #1 by "Joe" <joe@k...> on Tue, 19 Feb 2002 08:55:12

Hi Guys



I'am developing am ap, and would like to add the facility for users to 

query a database and export the results to Word. I can acheive what I want 

using FileSystemObject to create a rich text doc, but is there a better 

way of doing it.



I find rich text a bit long winded. Is it possible to create a formatted 

Word document from an html page??



Thanks in advance 



Joe

Yeah. Open your page with an <% and put this sentence before anything else:

ResponseContentType = "application/vnd.ms-word"



Some way, magically, word will be open with your html document inside. In

word format.



This works also for Excel (but there is a bug in office 2000).

Cheers Elliott



That kind of puts the kibosh on things. I don't know for sure that 

users

aren't going to have the same settings. I'll have to bypass this by

exporting and auto saving as a word doc.
