Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Creating excel file using table data in CF.. but excel borders are missing
Howard beat me to it. Doing it with html tables is dead as Disco. First thing to do is create a spreadsheet that looks exactly like you want it to look like and put in some dummy data. Save it as the XML spreadsheet format then you can use it instead of using html and still output it with cfcontent. Looks way better than the old school approach. - Original Message From: Howard Fore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: discussion@acfug.org Sent: Thursday, November 1, 2007 5:21:11 PM Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Creating excel file using table data in CF.. but excel borders are missing Why don't you use the XML Spreadsheet format instead?

Why don't you use the XML Spreadsheet format instead?

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] OT: SQL Tools for MSSQL & MySQL
Nevermind, I got it installed. I'm not very familiar with these Window Java JAR installations, so for those Windows users needing help: Download the .jar install file: squirrel-sql-2.6.1-install.jar to your desktop. Open command window: Start->Run type: cmd then click OK. Charge directory to where you saved the file: cd /d C:\Documents and Settings\...\Desktop *Use dir to see alist of files if you want to make sure it is there.* Then type in: java -jar squirrel-sql-2.6.1-install.jar This will start the installer and will install the application, just follow the directions. I'm trying it out now and will let you know if its what I wanted.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] OT: SQL Tools for MSSQL & MySQL
Interesting. I downloaded and unzipped the jar but can't find the file to either install it or run it. Per their instructions: "On Windows, execute the file squirrel-sql.bat to run the application." I can't find any such file. Did you have any luck? Are you running this on Windows and how?
