Re: multiple workbooks in internet explorer

Whatever tool you use, i do not know of any technology that will let you stream multiple files of any kind to IE as a result of a single request. There is no &quot;special character&quot; that IE will understand. If this is your requirement, zip up the files on the server, and send the zip accross.

   &gt;  Hello,
   &gt;  
   &gt;  we have a problem creating multiple workbooks in excel and sending them to
   &gt;  an internet explorer.
   &gt;  We don't use POI :( but we think POI can help us solving our problem.
   &gt;  We do in an oracle database package:
   &gt;  
   &gt;  create an excel sheet with owa_util.mime_header and fill this sheet with
   &gt;  htp.p-commands.
   &gt;  
   &gt;  This works fine for one workbook, but there is no possibility to create more
   &gt;  than one workbook. We think we can manipulate the stream and insert some
   &gt;  &quot;special characters&quot; so that the internet explorer thinks there are more
   &gt;  workbooks.
   &gt;  
   &gt;  Does anybody know if this is an possibility and which characters we must
   &gt;  insert to achieve this???
   &gt;  
   &gt;  I've searched the source code from POI but I haven't found the &quot;special
   &gt;  characters&quot;.
   &gt;  And I've googled a litte bit and searched the technet.oracle.com without any
   &gt;  solutions.
   &gt;  Thanks in advance
   &gt;  
   &gt;  Markus
   &gt;  
   &gt;  PS: 1) I want to use POI but I can't decide it, I'm so sorry about this
   &gt;  situation
   &gt;      2) Sorry for my bad english
   &gt;

Markus, do you mean multiple workbooks or multiple sheets? You can create
multiple sheets, although I can't tell you how.
