That works! Thank you!!

That seems to be the problem: //-- This works well: (just a bound column) For i = 0 To StatusGrid.Items.Count - 1 worksheet.Cells(i + 2, 1) = StatusGrid.Items(i).Cells(1).Text() Next //-- but when I use: (Tries to get a Template Column) For i = 0 To StatusGrid.Items.Count - 1 worksheet.Cells(i + 2, 2) = StatusGrid.Items(i).FindControl("lblDateAdded").ToString() Next ...the appropriate cell text reads: "System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label" It doesn't seem to be finding the lblDateAdded control using the above method. Do I need to be casting it? -- modified at 18:55 Monday 3rd October, 2005

There is no direct solution to this. What you can do is , write a Customized Message Box (your own Form) which can include this. Regards Mahesh Regards Mahesh

I had no idea it could be that simple. This is a project for work (I'm normally a DBA by trade) and I'll plug in first thing Monday morning and give this a whirl. You have been incredibly helpful, Dave and I really appreciate your expertise. (I was just about to give up on this whole Excel thing and tell my boss if he wants the info on the website, just copy/paste it... :-) I'll let you know Monday how it all works out. If I can get just one cell to reflect info off the ASP page, I'll consider this a success. Ray

You are calling the ToString() method on the object before you typecast it. That will use the Object.ToString() method that just returns the name of the class. You have to typecast the object before you call any methods on it: ((string)item).ToString() The call to ToString is of course completely superflous on a string object. Just remove it: (string)item --- b { font-weight: normal; }

Fixed: What I had forgotten (Actually what I had "learned", since I am a C# newbie) is that I need to include the .Resource file in the RSP file used to build the executable: /res:C:\Compiler\Source\Pax\Pax.Form1.resources Once I added this line to the RSP file, it ran flawlessly. Thanks for all of your consideration! Ray

Form.TopMost makes the Form a system modal window. It's supposed to be ontop of all other windows. If you only want it to be a top-level form for your application, then either set the Owner property of the child forms to the main form of your application, or call AddOwnedForm on the main form, passing the child forms as parameters. See the documentation for the Owner property and AddOwnedForm method in the Form documentation in the .NET Framework SDK for more information. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles
