I suspect your temp file has expired before the browser has a change to open it, especially since you cannot see it below ~/tmp (I rather use system tmp, /tmp). Install a delay/wait state after exporting the file so it does not disappear to quickly. I did this myself sometime back but no longer require it and cannot remember where/how I did it. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net
