[Sam --]

Hi all
I've a problem
I write code for download a file.
Sometimes when I run the code, the window of "File Download" appears
I push the "open" button and the window of "File Download" appears
again
This happens in this situation
windows 2003 - IE version 6.0.3790.0

note:
If i comment the line
********
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;
filename=prova.xls")
*******
the problem does not happen but I cannot specify the name of the file

thanks

.Clear()

.ClearHeaders()

End With

Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;
filename=prova.xls")
Response.Write("test")
Response.End()

Hi Sam,
I noticed a similar problem some time ago on machines installed with open
office instead of MS office. So if you dont have MS Office installed on your
machine or Excel viewer then check it on another machine.
