<div><font face="times new roman,serif">What a cool project you must be working on! It is possible to store an XLS file as a MIME object in SE80. Could you store a template XLS as a MIME object, read it and edit it as an internal table using an FM like

<br>Hi all,<br><br>We have a requirement where a mail is sent out to a user with some info.<br>Basic stuff, however the twist here is that they require this as an Excel<br>spreadsheet.<br><br>Easy enough to do in dialog, but does anyonw know how to create an Excel
<br>spreadsheet attachment in background? All methods we've lookied at come<br>back to the use of OLE functions which require a GUI session of a user<br>with Excel installed. This must be completely in background.<br><br>
I know this is on the far-flung borders of the workflow realm, but seeing<br>as we have some very knowledgeable people on this list I figured I might<br>throw the question out here.<br><br>Any input appreciated.<br>Cheers,
<br>Mike<br><br><br>-- <br>Andy Curtis<br>(m) 07798 603099<br>(t) 01737 843948<br>(e) <a href="mailto:abcurtis@gmail.com">abcurtis@gmail.com</a> </font></blockquote></div>
