asp to excel

[Mike D]

I know everyone says their problem is weird so ...

I have a weird problem. I am trying to save an asp file as an excel
spreadsheat. The table displays fine in html but when I add
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="test.xls;"

I get:
Internet Explorer cannot download 2004 from ricweb3.mydomain.com

Internet explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested
site is either unavailable or cannot be found.
Please try again later.

Thanks for any help.

Did you copy and paste that code? If so, you have a syntax error.
filename=" <-- no quote

I have tried this :
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=test.xls;"
and
response.AddHeader "content-disposition", "filename=test.xls"
and
response.AddHeader "content-disposition", "inline; filename=test.xls"
Still same problem. I have other pages on the same server downloading
excel. I don't know what is missing.

Show all the relevant code

Do you have a BinaryWrite in there somewhere?

I figured it out. The excel file did not like the way I was calling the
page. I had it as a pop-up from my initiating page. When I changed it to a
straight hyperlink it works fine. Go figure.

Thanks for your replies.
