Re: OT? Download to Excel number formats not working

I don't believe there are any characters I need to escape

Are you sure that in this line:

style="vnd.ms-excel.numberformat:_(* #,##0.00_)[semicolon]_(* (#,##0.0
+0)[semicolon]_(* "-"??_)[semicolon]_(@_)"
[download]

you should not escape the internal (inside the parentheses) double quotes?

Good suggestion. I escaped out of the double quotes with a backslash but still no go. I get a little error dialog box indicating that it doesn't like the formatting I'm trying to apply.	[reply]

If I remember well, in Excel you need to escape the double quotes doubling them. But perhaps not, it is at least 6 years since I used Excel last time... Rule One: "Do not act incautiously when confronting a little bald wrinkly smiling man."	[reply]
