hello everyone.

I recently changed the database of a project from Ms Access to SQL
server and had to make a lot of adjustments but there's one here where
I can't figure it out how to do this in SQL server.

I was using the following to create an excel file based on the select
from Ms Access.

"SELECT * INTO [Excel 8.0;Database=" & server.mapPath("../documents/
example.xls].[sheet1]")&" FROM (SELECT * FROM TABLE1)"

This was working fine until the bd was changed to Ms Server 2005 where
it occurs an error. I will post the error even if its kind useless.

Error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14'
Incorrect syntax near ')'.

As I said, the exact same code works fine in access. Any sugestion how
to get this solved??

I know some turn arounds like create a content/type x-excel page and
this allow the user to save the file, but I really need is to create
the file .XLS on the disk to allow the user to download whenever they
want.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Joao
