Hi all.
whilst there are several posts already showing how to export gridviews to excel and prompt the user to save the file to their file system, i have been trying to do the following with no success.
I would like to export or save a gridview back to the server in the existing webpage directory, automatically, without any prompts and overwrite an existing copy of a previous exported file if necessary.

Can anyone suggest a method for doing this please?
i'm not asking for the code to be written for me as i would like to try for myself first, but some or any idea of what methods to use would be handy as having trawled the web for days i have got nowhere.
If anyone already has a link or blog pointing out how it can be done then please let me know.
Thanks for your time.

Regards
'Viper.
