Output Word Document from ASP/Database?

[Jeff Cochran]

I'm sure I've seen a link for this somewhere but can't seem to find it
now. I have a need to pull info from a database based on user input
into an ASP page, and from that create a Word document. I'd prefer
not to install Microsoft Office on the server, if possible.

Thanks for any pointers.

One of the best solution is to generate RTF (rich text file) instead of
DOC
You can have a look on myLittleWriter on

I knew I'd seen this before, thanks. If the KB search actually
worked, then searching for "ASP to Word" and "Stream output to
Microsoft Word" would actually have found this. :)

That helps a lot too. We have a VBA app that works fine now, but
requires Word on the server and occasionally crashes the server.
We're redoing the interface to merge with our intranet, and I'd like
to get Word (or any workstation apps) off the server in the process.

Thanks,
