Excel report with ASP.NET read-only problem

[Oscar F]

Hello,

To create a excel report from ASP.NET I do the folowing steps:

-Create a HTML document.
-Use Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"

Everything works fine and the excel report is shown inside the IE.
The problem is when I try to save the page, this message appears:

"'aspname.aspx' is read-only.To save a copy, click OK, then give the
workbook a new name in the Save As dialog box."

The strange thing is that accessing the same page through internet from
another computer the message does not appears.
I tried to modify the security settings in IE but nothing works.

Any idea?

Thank you

Óscar

It sounds like you need to specify the filename, with code like this:

Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition",
"attachment;filename=whatever.xls")

This code also specifies that the file should be opened externally (as an
'attachment') rather that inside the browser (as 'inline').

This sounds similar to a recent problem I encountered where the user account
did not have full access to the Temporary Internet Files folder contents.

SSL? Look at the IE, Advanced setting for "Save encrypted files to disk"
