Excel objects

[sineados]

Hi,

I have an asp page which opens an Excel object, fills out a spreadsheet, renames it and opens it in a new window. Works fine on all the machines except for one. It creates the excel spreadsheet but the window does not seem to open.

I have compared the Internet settings and they are the same on both machines. Is there something else I am missing. All machines have IE6 and Excel 2000 installed.

This is basically the lines of code
if STCommon_PrintPurchaseOrder () = true then %>
<SCRIPT>window.open (&quot;StShowReport.asp&quot;,null,&quot;height=400,width=750,status=yes,toolbar=yes,scrollbars=yes,menubar=yes,location=yes&quot; </SCRIPT>
<% end if


It seems to be the window.open function which is failing. Anyone any ideas because I am stumped!!

thanks,

try starting the window.open on it's own line. and give it a name instead of &quot;null&quot;

<SCRIPT>
window.open (&quot;StShowReport.asp&quot;,&quot;myWin&quot;,&quot;height=400,width=750,status=yes,toolbar=yes,scrollbars=yes,menubar=yes,location=yes&quot;
</SCRIPT>

I tried that and it made no difference. I get no new window or no error message. I can see the Excel file on the server so know its creating that.

thanks,

Try adding an alert() message to see if it displays... Something's up with the javascript...
