This is a way to do it in classic asp. If anyone wants to know, here's how you do it:
Say you have 2 asp pages that dynamically create tables. You want these tables to be exported into excel on separate sheets. What you will need to do is create a new page call it export.asp (for example) and create two html files by using asp's file system object. See an example here:
In the same export.asp file after you've created the html files you will need to create your excel file.
Voila, you have a dynamically created excel file with multiple sheets. I'm sure there might be another way to do this, but I have not found any way to do it online in the past several months. There are ways you can do it in .NET, but I don't have .NET so I can't use it.

Set fs = objFSO1.CreateTextFile(Server.MapPath("pg1.html"))
fs.WriteLine "<html>"
fs.WriteLine "<head>"
fs.WriteLine "</head>"
fs.WriteLine "<table><tr><td>Col 1</td><td>Col 2</td></tr>"
'''bunch of code to create table
fs.WriteLine "</table></div></body></html>"
''''''''''''' repeat for as many sheets as neededIn the same export.asp file after you've created the html files you will need to create your excel file.
Code:
<%
Response.Buffer = TRUE
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=file_name.xls"
%>
