creating word docs and excel sheets on the fly...
I asked this question a couple days ago and received no responses, so I'm beginning to believe this is not possible. I need to create a word doc or excel spreadsheet based upon a set of queries. I know how to pass raw data into these new documents, that's no problem. The problem is that I'd also like to pass along formatting codes for things like creating tables in Word and shading certain rows. Does anyone know if this is even possible? ---mark -- Mark Warrick Phone: (714) 547-5386 Efax.com Fax: (801) 730-7289 Personal Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Personal URL: http://www.warrick.net Business Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Business URL: http://www.fusioneers.com ICQ: 346566 -- -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebarRsts&bodyRsts/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
RE: creating word docs and excel sheets on the fly...
This is certainly possible using and VBA. Do a search for 'Working with Tables' in Word's VB editor help to see code samples. ASP is probably a better choice than CF for this one.

RE: creating word docs and excel sheets on the fly...
Seems as if you need to run some VB scripts to accomplish this. I recently read an article (in CFDJ i think) that talked about this using a combination of WDDX and VB. Good luck!

Another idea: For Word: Run the queries, create an HTML file and save it to disk. Then open it in Word and save it as a Word doc.(mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, September 30, 2000 3:14 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: creating word docs and excel sheets on the fly...

I like the HTML idea.

Re: creating word docs and excel sheets on the fly...
When we want to build easy-to-download 'Word' documents in CF, we create RTF files. If you don't need a lot of really complex formatting, RTF syntax is no harder than HTML. lots of start/end tags. The easiest way to see what kind of RTF file you need is to save a sample file from Wordpad in RTF format. (If you save it from Word in RTF format, you get a lot of junk you don't really need.)
