stream Excel to browser- Framework 2.0

I have a Framework 2.0 web site running on a Window 2003 server, We are
streaming an excel file(csv) into the browser for one of our customer
reports, When the excel browser window opens the data is in HTLM format, I
open the same file runnning a duplicate web site from my machine(XP) and the
data shows normally.

'Code that streams file to browser

Dim resp As HttpResponse
resp = Page.Response
resp.Clear()
resp.ContentTyp e = "applicatio n/vnd.ms-excel"
resp.AppendHead er("Content-Disposition", "attachment;fil ename=" &
reportfilenameh ere)
resp.WriteFile( reportfilenameh ere)
resp.Flush()
resp.End()

Any Suggestion on how to solve this issue?

Thanks in Advance,
Rick

I think it depends on a version of the browser.
I recall a KB on Microsoft about bug if you try to stream over https. So
make sure you doing it over http.

Also try to make sure your reportrfilename has appropriate extension .xls or
..csv

You mean that Excel file is opened inside the browser window (but not
in HTML format)

Try to delete ContentType and see what happen

resp.ContentTyp e = "applicatio n/vnd.ms-excel"

Hello, I have a web site that has an audio file on it that I make available for download. Right now I'm using the "right-click/save-as" approach. This is because left-clicking the link to the audio file initiates client-side streaming/playing of the audio file. Is there a way with Javascript to make a left-click trigger a download of the file instead? BTW, I don't want to have convert the mp3 file to winzip to make this happen,...

Hi all, It may seem like a rather odd request (or not) but I would like to be able to create a file (doc, jpg, xls or one of many other files that can be automated) on a website and stream it to a user without saving it to the disk first. Obviously saving the file first and streaming it afterwards is fairly easy to do, but it relies on disk write permissions on the server and you'd have to make sure the file was removed afterwards.
