ASP Creating word documents(content-disposition)

[Tom]

I have tried three ways of opening word documents on my win95 machines.
(Yes, my client still has some win95 machine)
#1-With Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment;
filename=yourfilenamehere.doc"
#2-With Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "inline;
filename=yourfilenamehere.doc"
#3 without the content-Disposition header.

#1 is not good because it forces the user through two dialogs.
#2,#3 seem good because they open the document in IE,
but the window does not have the corresponding document toolbar,
so the user can not saveAs xxx.doc

How can I accomplish # 2 or #3 with IE showing a word document toolbar?


TIA--
Tom

He can still use File>Save As can't he?

How can I accomplish # 2 or #3 with IE showing a word document
toolbar?

This is controlled on the user's machine. there is no way to control this
from asp server-side code.

Nope....The window header area only contains the document ruler,
nothing else. No toolbars/menus at all.
