RE: [PHP] Formatting Information in header? Gridlines in Excel

[snip] Are you actually sending an excell file, or just data that you expect excell to format? If your sending a file, then you have to create the grid lines there. These are HTTP headers that you are talking about, they wouldn't have any control over excell data. [/snip] Nope, it's not an Excel file. It is a PHP file imitating an Excel file, calling data from the DB and generating the worksheet on-the-fly. I want the gridlines to display and was hoping that there was something I could put in the PHP page to make sure that this happens. I am delivering HTML table(s) to Excel for parsing, which it does just fine....uh oh...I feel an idea coming on....let me try adding a border="1" to the table tag....that works! Thanks for wording it differently, I saw it in a different light and the answer cam upon me like a Monday morning lightning strike. Jay Blanchard
