-- Moved from [aspngfreeforall] to [ngfx-msoffice] by James Avery <Click here to reveal e-mail address> --

I am sending an excel file to the browser using this technique

Response.ContentType ="application/vnd.ms-excel"
Response.OutputStream.Write(bytearray, 0, bytearray.Length)

Unfortunately the filname on the browser is allways the blah.aspx
filename. Is there anyway to change it, so it is filename.xls?

Note I am streaming the file from a database. I know I could save the
file to the server and then response.redirect to the server filename.
However, I would like to avoid the problems with saving/deleting files
on the server.

Chuck,

Try this. Works for me.

Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=YourFile.xls"

I have a similar issue - I'm having a problem compiling a dynamic webform
page into a word doc download. I'm assuming I am not using the right syntax
of response.binarywrite (although I may be way off). Currently I'm doing
something like this...

[Original message clipped]


It usually just passes straight through this w/out sending any file to the
user.
I remember in ASP classic, all I had to do was this line and it worked like
a charm:
>> Response.ContentType = "application/" & Request("format")

Any ideas?
