Saving Data as Text File

[cabobound]

Hi all,

Im trying to save my data as a text file but I want the user to be able to use the dialog box to select to open or where to save it. I have the code to simply open the file and loop through through writing the data. I cant find where to get the dialog box to though. Does anyone know where the is a page to tell me how to do this?

Did you try using Response.AddHeader to specify Content-Disposition as an attachment?

I havent found anything for it...all I have found is how to open and write to files.

Ok, this code worked to save the data.

response.addHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachement; filename=test.txt"
response.addHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-download"

The one thing it doesnt do is create new rows. If I use the <br> it puts that as a new field. How do I get the new line char for a file using this?

Turns out that after numorous trials and errors...I can use Response.write vbCrLf and that corrected the problem.

Thanks for the help.
