Either way, it opens in Excel with a double-click. |
Not if the OP's client is using a version of Excel before they adopted that standard.
And yes, in the real world Office 2003 is still widely used. I'm looking at it now, and yes other parts of the same organization are using Office 2007.
Everyone is still also on XP despite the Win7 rollout being timetabled for January 2012.
We have servers on XP, 2003, 2008 & IMHO it's a miracle none of them are NT4.
And the client's OP is being unreasonable asking for application code in a Microsoft proprietory format. |
Good points, Sir Vitor. People who use ten year old software get what they pay for. I like IBM's policy of sunsetting WMB software products and tools after five years of life.

And in this case, they're paying for a native format Excel 2003 file. Are they paying enough? That's the question.

Whereas Microsoft software products have no life in the first place, but just lurch round your desktop.

Ow. Reminds me of Shaq's ad: I have shoes bigger than some hybrids ... and more stylish too [as he puts his finger in your eye]. Ow!

One more possibility that you can consider, IF you have Java knowledge and/or cannot use MB8 on Windows for its .NET capabilities, is using Apache POI inside a JavaCompute node:
http://poi.apache.org/
It can be used to create a valid .xls file based on your input, and then output it wherever you want to using WMB's standard facilities.
POI is a pure Java library, so it can be used on any OS that supports Java. Creating .xls files on an AIX machine is cool  |
