Where exactly do you expect it to save to Excel?

If you want to create a new Excel Workbook and save it somewhere from an .asp page you're going to need a lot more to happen.
<%
'Change HTML header to specify Excel's MIME content type
Response.Buffer = TRUE
Response.ContentType = &quot;application/vnd.ms-excel&quot;
%>

With this at the top of your .asp page, if the user has Microsoft Excel installed, the page will be displayed as Microsoft Excel. The user can then do a 'Save As' and save the workbook where ever they want. Try it and see. Maybe this is all you need.

Headers and ContentTypes are part of the html header that your sending to the user. These need to be declared before you output any html to the user, otherwise IIS sends a generic set of headers. Headers only get sent one timefor each page, so in order for this to be sent as an excel file you will need to change those headers (similar to your commented out lines) before you pass it the
Code: 
<html>
and
Code: 
<head>
and etc tags
