Heres how http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x2b3ktt7.aspx[^] Another approach is to build up the child pages with ASCX controls. ASCX Controls for headers, footers, menus etc... Then just plonk them on the page, or create instances of the controls in the base page.

do you understand what email is and how it works ? It's a text only format. Some mail programs can show HTML mail, but the image needs then to be on a public server in order to be visible. How are you embedding it ?

Noone is going to write the code for you. You have to write it yourself and when you get stuck, you can ask specific questions. Excel 2003 and above will already import XML data without any code from you. All you have to do is File, Open... But, if you have to write the code to do this, you'll need to brush up on reading an XML file, parsing the data, and doing Excel Interop. There are various ways of reading an XML file. If the number of records is not known, but can be large, then an XmlReader[^] would probably be appropriate. There's tons of example of doing Excel Interop on the web. The problem is the Excel object model isn't exactly the easiest thing to learn. All you have to do is Google for "vb.net excel interop[^]".

A single we site can not have mixed pages. You will have to have two web sites. One that runs on .net 1.1 and another that runs on .net 2.0. I would think seriously of switching the web site to one .net version. Otherwise I think you are asking for problems. Hope that helps. Ben
