How to get a OPEN/SAVE dialog option window when open Excel from IE browser.

[eddie wang]

I use the following to open Excel from IE browser, but I don't get a
OPEN/SAVE dialog option window. Instead, the Excel opened in the browser
window. How to get a OPEN/SAVE dialog option window? THanks.

filesys.createTextFile(application("ApplicationPat h") &
"repository\repository_" & filenameval & ".csv",true)

This is a client-side option that you cannot control from ASP, but you can
use this trick.

Thanks for pointing out this is a client option. How may I setup this
option on client PC manually? Thanks!

For the xls file type in tools, options, file types from explorer.exe:

browse in same window = false
confirm open after download = true

Based on the following code, I think that I use CSV format.
filesys.createTextFile(application("ApplicationPat h") &
"repository\repository_" & filenameval & ".csv",true)

So, I set up in Tools/Folder Options/File Types/CSV and see the
following are true. Why I
am still not getting a dialog window to confirm open after download???
browse in same window = false
confirm open after download = true

Huh. I get the same thing. I also notice that the options I set for csvs
don't stick. There is this article, but it's the opposite effect.

work-around you could stream the file back using this.
