problem regarding excel display through servlets in IE 5.0/5.5/6.0.

[omi123]

The excel file opens with the help of servlet.It works fine with IE 4.0 but it fails to open in IE 5.0 /5.5/6.0 and pops up with the window saying -

what would you like to do with this file-
1. open this file from currrent location.
2. Save this file to disk.

what could be done to avoid this when MIME-TYPE is already set.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Are you setting the response type so the browser knows its an Excel file?

response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel"
