Barry's correct. I saw a tutorial on how to do XML spreadsheets on the EasyCFM Tutorials. I was able to get some great spreadsheets going there with formulas, graphics inlucded, pretty styles to match the rest of the site - wonderful.
Then i noticed that it only works on Excel2003 and later. (i.e. XP versions). So that's terrific for me and for my client but a bit risky for us to rely on all his customers - for whom this project is intended - having Excel2003 or later. When I saw that tutorial I thought all my problems had been solved, but no such luck sadly. But when XML becomes widely enough in use for us, it's a far better solution than any other way to do it - all the functionality of Excel is available - formulas, multiple sheets in a workbook, named ranges etc etc. and its piece of . cake to produce the XML But for now, its the table-forcedownload-add styles method. (sigh).
