You have to put single quotes around that value, otherwise it will be treated as integer and the leading 0 will be removed

1. check your rights.

2.make sure that the spreadsheet name is unique, and noone has it open.

3.Try to delete the file you already created and run the sp again

4. If you...

here is an example with pubs DB

DECLARE @SQL varchar(8000)

 BEGIN 

  SET @SQL =

  'select au_lname,   au_fname,  phone,  address,   city, state, zip  from dbo.authors '

--   select @SQL

--   exec (@SQL)

  exec HPSP_UT_ExcelReport 'Test_XLS', @SQL, 'Test_XLS',...

Sure, you have to supply all the params.

hese is the way I am running it:

exec HPSP_UT_ExcelReport 'FileName', @SQL, 'SpreadsheetName', 'COL1_Name text, COL2_Name text'

   ,'\\ServerName\path\'

@SQL - this is a sql...

in the insert use case statement

insert my_table(col1)

select case when len(date1_char) = 0 THEN NULL ELSE cast(date1_char as smalldatetime)

You can use this stored proc.

Just supply file name, path, and SQL query

A while ago I posted Strored Procedure for this kind of searches.

Here is your problem:

You have a table with 3 columns. In the insert statement you put values only for 2 columns. In such cases you have to explicitly indicate what...

SELECT distinct   o.name, c.colid, c.name ColumnName, t.name, c.length

   FROM  sysobjects o

    JOIN sysdepends d

     ON depid = o.id

    JOIN syscolumns c

     ON o.id = c.id  

    JOIN systypes t

      ON c.xtype = t.xtype 

    WHERE  o.xtype = 'V'

You can use Replicate function. Look into BOL

If you  use <!CDATA> for any data it should work.
