title: create excel spreadsheet
body: <p>Is there any way to create an excel spreadsheets using VBScript?  I can create a text file using a FileSystemObject and use any extension I want, but when I try and download this and it gives me the open in excel option a message then appears stating that it is in a different format, and that is what I want to avoid:</p>
  
  <pre><code>set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  set tfile=fs.CreateTextFile(Server.MapPath("xls/streamtest.xls"),true,false)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know this is pushing text into the file in ASCII format.</p>
  
  <p>Is there 'something' character sequence, specific formatting that I can use to get around all of this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
