asp_web_howto thread: Cannot get parms using ContentType = application/vnd.ms-excel


Message #1 by "Paul R Beaulieu" <paulbeaulieu@s...> on Sun, 22 Jul 2001 18:30:50 -0400
I have code that produces an Excel spreadsheet that is formed using HTML...

for this to happen I have to use the following:



Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"



However when I do this I can no longer access parms passed to the asp...



abc = Request.QueryString("abc") for GET method or

abc = Request.From("Abc") for POST



just do not work...



I tried doing the Querystring or form before setting the ContentType and I

as able to receive the parms but when ASP tries to excute the ContentType

later I get an error indicating that the Header info has already been

written...



Does anyone know how to get around this?



Thanks, Paul.

I don't know if this will work, but try reading in the parameters 

before setting the content type

Did you try a response.buffer = true before your Excel ContentType 

line?
