HSSF Servlet.
Hello Gurus,
I am trying to create an application where the user could a link and it
would create a formatted spreadsheet for them and lets them download that
spreadsheet onto their harddrive. Then I want to force them to follow the
format that I have set in the spreadsheet but I am not able to do that. When
the user is copying and pasting data all the formatting is lost in the
spreadsheet. I want the formatting to stay and may be give them a pop up
message if they are pasting the wrong data in the spreadsheet. Is this
doable? Any suggestions/input/ideas are much appreciated.
Cheers,
Mike.

this sounds like frontend functionality that is best put into
macros/vbscript for excel to maintain unless you want to do the
validation on the server side (cell by cell...).
