I've created an asp.net page that renders an html table. Using ContentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" it will open in the browser as an excel file on 4 out of the test machines I have available to me. On one machine it consistently comes back with a standard "Page cannot be displayed" error. When i remove the ContentType line, the page will render correctly. As long as that attripbute is set, however, the one machine always fails. All the machines have pretty much identical builds of Win2k with .net 1.1, Office 2k, and internet explorer 5.5+ (the machine giving me errors is running 6.1 128 bit). An earlier version of this same asp (proof of concept) also is displaying the error, but did not two months ago
This gets deployed next week to a target audience of approximately 5000 users, so I'd appreciate any info I can get
Thanks
