I have created a simple asp page that displays a html table as an Excel sheet in the Internet Explorer browser.
I've done this with the command:-
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"

The problem is that when I select 'File' and 'Save As' from the explorer menu bar I do not get the option to save the page as an Excel '.xls' page. I can do this with Netscape but not with explorer. I've also found that some other people in the office can save the page from explorer as a '.xls' while others cannot.

This means there must be a setting somewhere but we can't find it. Please put us out of our misery!!!
