Create Multisheet Excel workbook

Does anyone know how to create a multisheet Excel workbook using ASP and XML? I need to be able to write to each sheet.

My client server has Office 2000. It would be easy with Office XP but they will not be upgrading anytime soon.

Thanks!

Ho patient are you?

As far as I've been able to find, it is only possible by creating a master file that calls a separate content Datasource file (one for each worksheet contained) using an XML Schema and HTML tables.
All you need to do is save a multisheet workbook in HTML from Excel 2000 to see the exact format which works perfectly.

If there is a workaround to be able to contain all the worksheets in the main XML /HTML file to allow for a one-step download, it isn't spidered yet as far as I can find.

I haven't tried coding the multiple saves, as I would need to do it for a 25-30 WorkSheet WorkBook, and can't immagine my client sitting through all those individual saves, but it shouldn't be difficult to set up for a few sheets.
