Tried to create large but uncomplicated file. Result was a file that cannot be opened. File consisted of text strings and numbers only.
Code snippets:
filename = "AdviziaDocLang.xls"
Set b8 = New BIFF8
b8.filename = filename
sname = "AdviziaDocLang"
Set sht = b8.Workbook.Worksheets.AddNamed(sname) 'Add sheet (and name it)
Set cells = sht.Cells 'Grab Sheet.Cells Collection object
Roww = 1
Coll = 1
cells.AddValueCell Roww, Coll, "Advizia ID" 'Add Header cells
Coll = Coll + 1
cells.AddValueCell Roww, Coll, "Section"
Coll = Coll + 1
cells.AddValueCell Roww, Coll, "Heading"
Coll = Coll + 1
cells.AddValueCell Roww, Coll, "Title"
Coll = Coll + 1
cells.AddValueCell Roww, Coll, "English"
FOR x=1 TO UBOUND(L,2)
Coll = Coll + 1
cells.AddValueCell Roww, Coll, L(3,x)
NEXT
'Send the file
b8.Send
'Clean up
Set cells = Nothing
Set sht = Nothing
Set b8 = Nothing
response.end
