I've got a page that generates a CSV and sends it to the browser, which

I need to save to a file.  I've tried tweaking the headers, and I can

make the browser prompt to save the file, but I can't figure out how to

specify the filename.  It defaults to the name of the page (csvout.asp)

which is not what I want the file to be called.  Do I need to add a

header that specifies the filename, and if so what is it?  Here's part

of the code:



	Response.Clear

	Response.ContentType =3D "application/octet-stream"

	Response.AddHeader "Accept-Ranges", "bytes"

	Response.Flush

	while not rsSymbolFind.EOF

		Response.Write(rsSymbolFind.Fields(0) & "," &

rsSymbolFind.Fields(1) & vbCrLf)

		rsSymbolFind.MoveNext

	wend

	Response.End



I got the current header values by making an HTTP request for a real CSV

file through a telnet client and looking at what headers the server

returned, so I think that part is pretty accurate.  I just need to get

the filename in there somewhere.



Thanks,

You can try to add the following header:



sFileName = "blablabla.csv"

Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "filename=" & sFileName





Hope this helps,
