ASP form input can be transformed into most any type of format that you'd like to see it in. Typically, most form input either gets delivered to a database, like Access or SQL server or the output is sent to an email address or some other application. This example will show you how to take user input and create an excel file of that input on the server. The title that the user inputs will be used to name the document. When utilizing this script on your site please keep in mind that the directory that you execute the .asp code from must have user write authority established on the server.

It allows the server to dynamically create Excel reports without taking up any space on the server, and also allows multiple concurrent users to receive these reports simultaneously. The generated reports can be complete with Excel formulas, which allows intensive calculations to be moved to the client side. This method only works with Excel 97 or later.
