code to export is

Response.Clear( );

Response.AddHea der("content-disposition", "attachmentfile name=FileName.x ls");

Response.Charse t = "";

// If you want the option to open the Excel file without saving than

// comment out the line below

Response.Cache. SetCacheability (HttpCacheabili ty.NoCache);

Response.Conten tType = "applicatio n/vnd.xls";

System.IO.Strin gWriter stringWrite = new System.IO.Strin gWriter();

What happens in IE when you do this?
Do you get errors?
I have this working just fine.

Edit: OH! You shouldn't be using a STRINGwriter for binary data, it will get scrambled.
