You could generate data in comma seperated format (.csv) and set the RESPONSE['content-type'] to something that Excel claims as it's own (application/vnd.microsoft.excel, maybe? dunno) probably just making the page be called something like 'excel_results.csv' would do the trick (must... not... rant... about... windows... crap... mime support...)

Richard Moon wrote I'm writing a data-mining application and I'd like to use Zope as a front end . Using Zope the user can query tables and see the data presented on-screen. Is there any way to pass that output to an Excel spreadsheet ?

I feel I should be able to write an external method to do it so I'd be intere sted to know if anyone else has already solved the problem.

Thanks in advance

Richard
