if you are using sessions: remove session_start() inside the downloadscript or play around with http-headers, e.g.:
session_start();
header("Expires: ".gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s", 0)." GMT");
header("Last-Modified: ".gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s")." GMT");
header("Cache-Control: private, max-age:0");
header("Pragma: no-cache");or download the file without the php-script and analyse the http-headers with a network-sniffer (http://www.ethereal.com)

None of these ideas seem to work. In fact, I don't think .htaccess files even work on a Windows server running IIS. But I could probably achieve the save results by playing with the extensions in IIS.
At any rate, I tried it in IE6, and it prompts me to download it correctly and without the ".php" extension on the end. I had been trying it in Mozilla Firebird 0.7 prior to that. Since the client uses IE rather than Mozilla, then I won't worry about it for now. However, it still would be a good idea to find a way to resolve it. Any other ideas?
Thanks, Ben
