Hi, Could any one explain better. I need just the grid lines for the excel sheet. I already tried that <table border=1> but it shows the linings only to the valued cells. But i need to show the grid as in MS Excel. I tried TEXT/XML but i get the following error --------------------------- The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh <javascript:location.reload()> button, or try again later. ------------------------------ A string literal was expected, but no opening quote character was found. Error processing resource 'http://localhost/dbtoxl... <table border="1"><tr> <td width=100>25 </td><td width=100> jana </td><td width=100&... --------------------------- thanks in advance....
