Anish,
Here's something you can do that would indirectly solve your problem. You said that in your application, you update the database and then generate the report. Now, would you ever want to retrieve an existing report? If so, you may want to redirect the client to the "view report" url after the report is inserted into the db rather than forwarding directly to the PDF generator. For example, in my application, http://myhost/myapp/salesorder/new_order creates and insert the order. And when that's done, I redirect the client to http://myhost/myapp/salesorder/view_order?id=xxx I did it this way just because I need to be able to view an existing order anyway. In fact, for a long time I wasn't even aware of IE's load-twice problem. Of course, this solution doesn't help with the time wasted generating and transmitting the PDF twice (you just don't insert twice)! :) But depending on your requirements, this may be something you want to do anyway. -J.Teo Anis h wrote: > Hello, > > I read your answere posted asking to check FAQ for > info regarding IE problems.. as you said I followed > the link to MS site and confirmed that IE 5.5 SP1 > submits the request twice..
