I have a very simple asp page that shows the results of an SQL query in gridview. I would like to place button on the page that will allow the user to extract the data to excel. I need to do this in either asp or vb. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

You could add a button to the page to postback to itself with a parameter

You could then check to that parameter and add something like

if request("parameter") = "excel" then response.ContentType="application/vnd.ms-excel"

Then just write out your gridview - as long as the columns line up correctly it should work

I seem to remember if the user has excel installed then it will just open, otherwise it will ask the user to save the file
