Hi Clive My file is a standard CSV; I want Netscape to offer > me the save as dialog (as it does now) and IE to > give me the File Download dialog box and offer the > correct filename if I want to save it.

What happens is when M$ Office installs it registers the file associations (obviously). So when IE sees a file that is registered to office it opens up the app in the browser (like Acrobat does). What you need to do is go into view > Folder Options form within windows explorer. Now click on the file types tab and scroll down and find M$ Excel Worksheet. Now click edit and check the confirm open after download box. This should bring up the save as box HTH M@
