Hi,
IE is viewing the file automatically because it is registered to launch
automatically in your folder options. Plus you've set the type to:
> response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excels;
> charset=us-ascii");
The probable reason that netscape downloads and not opens is you don't
have a setting in your netscape "Application" preferences.
I have netscape 4.7 in my NT box and it does open it there for Excel
files.
The best thing to do is do a "Save Link As".
