The following parameters are available:

FileName	Path and file name of Excel-formatted file to create

Remarks

Use this method to export the contents of the Spread control to an Excel-formatted file, which does not contain formulas.

This method is called for the current sheet setting unless you first set the Sheet property to specify the sheet with which you want to work. Avoid using characters in the sheet name that Excel considers invalid such as ? / \ * [ ].

When you export, you can choose to have Spread create a log file that details how certain data and cell characteristics are handled during the export. To have Spread create an export log file, specify the path and file name in the LogFileName parameter. If you do not specify a path, Spread will place the log file in the current drive and directory. Use the Flags parameter to specify whether to include formulas.

By default, Excel-formatted files created using Spread or the Spread Designer have the extension .XLS. However, you may use any extension.

Return Type

True if successful; otherwise, False.
