Exporting data from SQL Server to Excel from a Stored Procedure

I need to export data, from within a MSSql stored procedure to excel. Right now we use DTS, but its cumbersome and the users always screw it up.

I would usually just send the tabel to a .csv fiel and pick it up in excel, but I have a field that has preceding zeros and excel truncates them and uses a general fromat.

Any ideas

ThanksI'd use the Data | Get External Data | New Database Query menuitem in Excel. When you get to MS-Query, don't select any tables. Use the SQL button and type in the EXECUTE command for the stored procedure. Save this query and then the users can simply execute it!
