Browser opening file twice

[David C]

I have the code below that I call from onclick attribute I am adding to a
LinkButton. It works perfect if I use Application.Word, etc. but when I use
Application.Excel it opens the file name twice, once in regular mode and
once in "read-only". Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? Thanks.
David

function openExcel()
{
var pause = 0;
var xlDialogFileOpen = 80;
var xlApp = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
xlApp.Visible = 'True';
var wb = xlApp.Workbooks;
wb.Open('N:\\FileDocs\\File092180\\0001Contract\\F ileroom Company
List.xls');
}

Looking at your code, it seems obvious that somehow your function is being
called more than once.

You are right. It had an onclick and an asp OnClientClick. Thanks.
