OWC11 Excel question

[lanem]

I am creating an excel spreadsheet from my asp.net 2.0 page using owc11.
Everything seems to work fine, except that it doesn't work if the user is on
a machine with Office 2000. It works for me on my machine with Office 2003.
It must be the XML format or something. Does anyone know what I can do? Why
can't I save it as a true xls file instead of XML or HTML?

office 2000 and owc10 is not forward compatible with office xp owc10 or
office 2003 owc11. for your other question, you can use the HTML property to
export the spreadsheet to html instead of xl format.

Alvin - do you happen to know if developers/users will face similar problems
when Office 2007 comes out? Will it have a new version of OWC, and if so will
OWC11 and the new version be forward/backward compatible with each other?

Thanks,

office 2003 owc11. for your other question, you can use the HTML property to

OWC is being replaced with Excel services based on sharepointe version 3.
What you now consider the OWC front-end (pivots, charts etc) will be built
using html and javascript so there won't be any client licensing, office
versions or browser compatibilities to fuss over.
