Hello

I have done a form in Dreamweaver UltraDev4 and need the information sent to a speadsheet. How do I go about this, do I need to download a script (CGI or ASP??) or is there an easy way.

I am not very computer litterate.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Matt

Welcome Matt <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Sending data to a spreadsheet .xls can be a real pain as it has to be done on the server and you need to have the application installed for this to work and as we no applications can fail or need user interaction at times so not recommended. The best way to do this is to create a CSV file which any spreadsheet programme can open, you would create this using FSO - FileSystemObject. Search for writing text files to your particular system type (CGI/ASP) as the approach would be slightly different, well the code would be very different.

Post back if you need any further information.

Thanks Leo

I will do some research on CSV & FSO, and work with my server provider and see if I can get this working!

Thanks again

Try placing this code at the top of your page... the result for me is is requesting that you save that page as a .XLS file... seems to me that any Spreadsheet app would be able to open a simple XLS doc, but I could be wrong.

Response.Buffer = TRUE
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
