Post #218,599 by ben_tilly 8/10/05 12:07:22 PM Reply	No need to use VB Write a tab delimited file and name it .xls. Excel will know what to do with it. If you want to get fancy, you can use [link\|http://search.cpan.org/~jmcnamara/Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-2.14/lib/Spreadsheet/WriteExcel.pm\|Spreadsheet::WriteExcel] n Perl to create a binary Excel file with whatever you want.
