Exporting ADO tables into various formats

In this article I want to present a component I built in order to
supply exporting features to the ADOTable component. ADO supplies
an extended SQL syntax that allows exporting of data into various
formats. I took into consideration the following formats:

1)Excel
2)Html
3)Paradox
4)Dbase
5)Text

You can see all supported output formats in the registry:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\ISAM formats"

 This is the complete source of my component }

unit ExportADOTable;

interface

uses
  Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs,
  Db, ADODB;

  TExportADOTable = class(TADOTable)

    { Public declarations }
    constructor Create(AOwner: TComponent); override;

    //Export procedures
    //"FiledNames" is a comma separated list of the names of the fields you want to export
    //"FileName" is the name of the output file (including the complete path)
    //if the dataset is filtered (Filtered = true and Filter <> ''), then I append
    //the filter string to the sql command in the "where" directive
    //if the dataset is sorted (Sort <> '') then I append the sort string to the sql command in the
    //"order by" directive

Note that you can use an already existing database as destination but not an already existing
table in the database itself: if you specify an already exixting table you will receive
an error message. You might insert a verification code inside every exporting procedure of my
component, before the execution of the sql exporting command, in order to send a request of
deleting the already present table or aborting the exporting process.
