generating excel output from ASP

I have read somewhere (in a ASP programming book) that I can generate Excel
readable output. Following one of the examples in that book, I have tried to
run that file against my web server. However, server returns only:
"HTTP/1.1 New Application Failed"

I have a feeling that it caused by the following line:

"response.contenttype = "application/vnd.ms-excel"

If anybody wants, I can post all of the code (not very long) for you to see.

Thanks,

TB

Don't know but I could imagine something like that happening if the
client PC doesn't have Excel installed.
