Did anybody use the download to Excel feature in ASP? I used the line: Response.ContentType="application/vnd.ms-excel". The script is written so when the user checks the box, the report should be loaded to Excel. It works just fine on some computers, but it does weird thing on others. Excel opens, but the user gets a logon screen (redirection should be done when the user's cookies are empty). At the same time, the same report works without any problem if the user does not do the download thing. Is it something between IE and Excel? Can it be a permission issue?
HELP!!!

deepanwita,
I was able to solve the problem: You should have Excel 97 SR2 or Excel 2000 SR1 together with IE 5.5 SP2 or higher in order to use download to Excel.
Thanks.
