I'm glad it works for you, but it won't work on a lot of systems (Linux systems usually don't know what "C:" means, and their slashes are forward leaning). You might look at using response.stream, which has an option for setting a filename (sets the header field "Content-Disposition"), and the browser should send that to a sensible place, like the Downloads directory. <URL:http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/04/the-core?search=content-type#response> /dps > > > > Am Dienstag, 3.
