IE is opening file in browser, no Open-Save dialog

[fiat2]

using IE 6.0.

I have an app that produces a URL on the .aspx page.
When this user clicks on the URL, IE attempts to open the Excel in the browser. Does not provide a Open-Save dialog.

I've gone into File Types, (Under Folder Options) and set the options to the same as my computer, but still, no Open-Save dialog box.

I'm hoping that when the user clicks on the URL, the Open-Save dialog box appears.

Any ideas?

I don't have IE 6.0 available but if I remember correctly there are settings in IE under Tools ->Internet Options (Advanced tab) where you can set IE to prompt before opening a file. I can't remember the exact wording of the option but I think that it is almost self explanatory.

Hope this helps.
