I have created a form for my customer to enter analytical results into their database. After entering the days data, the operator presses a button which triggers the script for creating an Excel spreadsheet that they then email to their boss. Everything normally works fine, except when the comment column contains >, <, or &. In that case, the underlying XML code generated by the script is corrupted and can not be opened by Excel. I suggest that the script “system.dataset.exportExcel” needs modification to handle this.
nmudge: Thank you for the tip, I may end up using it. However, I spend a lot of time training my customers to let me know if there is a problem with my code rather than sub-optimizing it by creating a way to work-around a mistake in the code. Likewise, I believe the programmers at IA want to know when there code does not behave as expected.
