application/vnd.ms-excel

[Kevin Humphreys]

Hi There,
I am using the below snipped of code to dump the Recordset content in my asp
page to an excel file.
response.Conten tType="applicat ion/vnd.ms-excel"
However when the query is complete the content gets displayed to the web
page in excel format instead of being prompted to save the file to the local
machine.

Any ideas on how to rectify this?

Thanks In Advance,
Kevin Humphreys.
