I have a server with an asp page on it that generates a report in Excel, using the Excel.Application object. Normally, Excel would have to be installed on the server to work. I was wondering, however, if it is possible to utilise the excel install on client machines to do this instead, as I can’t install Excel on the server?
Thanks for any help you can give
To do that you would need to fetch raw data into the users browser and use JavaScript to automate excel via its COM object model, this would be pretty horrific for a multitude of reasons, not least the security reconfiguration your users would have to perform on their machines.
YMMV but ADO can be used to create excel files.
