Hello, I have an excel file that I am generating. If I copy over the generated file and then open it in excel, it works fine, if I try to let the user download it using the headers below, when I then open it excel complains that it is an unrecognizable format and the info is garbled...any ideas???

Yes, an idea -- this might be due to a bug that's found in excel files if a value exist (or doesn't) in the first cell or column of the spreadsheet. I vaguely remember running into that several years ago. You can Google "excel bug first cell" HTH, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
