The following piece of code is being used to export HTML to excel.
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=ABC.xls")
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(strHTML)
HttpContext.Current.Response.End()
However when the user tries to save it the Default File Type is Web
Page(*.htm; *.html)
How do we change the Default File Type to Excel

Try putting a Response.Clear() line at the beggining of your code block.

Steve,
Thank you for the prompt reply. Response.Clear does not help though.
Listing out the full piece of code for better clarity.
Dim strFileName As String
Dim strHTML As String
Dim strAddInfo As String
HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear()
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
strReportName = "EXPORT REPORT"
strFileName = "ABC.xls"
strAddInfo = "Additional Info"
strHTML = GetGHTML() 'This is responsible for getting report in HTML format
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=" & strFileName)
HttpContext.Current.Response.Charset = ""
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<h4>" & strReportName & "</h4>")
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(strAddInfo)
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<br><br>")
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(strHTML)
HttpContext.Current.Response.End()

Jeff,
You are correct. The piece of code that you have written does show the
Exported file as "Text (tab delimited) (*.txt) " in the "Save as type"
dropdown when the user tries to save the excel file.
However in my case the data is in tabular format as opposed to "Hello
World".
The data that I am trying to export is similar to
strHTML = "<table><tr><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td></tr></table>"
HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear()
HttpContext.Current.Response.Buffer = True
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=export.xls")
HttpContext.Current.Response.Charset = ""
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(strHTML)
HttpContext.Current.Response.End()
In this case when the user tries to save the exported excel the "Save as
Type" drop down shows the type as a "Web Page". This is something that I am
trying to avoid.
Thanks,

On ALL our machines, my code shows Save As Excel Sheet in the Save As dialog
popup.
Do you have Excel installed on your client machines?? Which is a requirement
of course, to save in that format.

Jeff,
MIME settings are set up to open a file with xls in Excel sheet. This is
exactly what the code does. It is only when you try to save the file, the
"Save as Type" is a "Web Page" as opposed to "xls".
Is it possible to send across the link to the test report on your
application across to me? Curious to see how it works against my Test bed.
Thanks,

Hari,
There is no solution that I could find out. The workaround for this is to
use the Excel Object and create an excel on the server itself, which will
have to be ultimately downloaded on the client. But this method has it's own
limitations.

Hemant

Jeff,
MIME settings are set up to open a file with xls in Excel sheet. This is
exactly what the code does. It is only when you try to save the file, the
"Save as Type" is a "Web Page" as opposed to "xls".
Is it possible to send across the link to the test report on your
application across to me? Curious to see how it works against my Test bed.
Thanks,
Hemant
