Hi James,

Try these changes:
// Set headers for browser to save instead of displaying
aResponse.setHeader( "application/octet-stream", "content- type" );


// Set the default save as name and mark as an attachment
String contentDisposition = "attachment;filename=\"" + downloadFilename() + "\"";
aResponse.setHeader( contentDisposition, "content- disposition");


Also, IE 6 has trouble with https downloads. The fix for that, which works in combination with "application/octet-stream" is here:

I am thinking it has to do with how I am setting mimetypes, etc.??? Other sites seem to work properly.
Here is my simple piece of code:


response.setHeader("application/vnd.ms-excel", "Content-Type");
response.setHeader(theDocumentItem.projectDocumentObject ().documentObject().length()+"", "Content-Length");
response.setHeader("filename=\""+theDocumentItem.title() +"\"","Content-Disposition");
response.setContent(theDocumentItem.projectDocumentObject ().documentObject());


any thoughts?

Thanks
James

Hello -

Anyone knows why IE brings up a viewer vs. the regular Microsoft
Application?
In other words instead of downloading the file and launching EXCEL it
brings
up the EXCEL viewer instead.

As far as i know, this is handled via the awfull registry.
Check your "file types" and the association to applications.
