ASP.Net, Forms authentication

I'm trying to generate a tab-delimited document and send it to excel from
an aspx page.

When I set the contenttype then I get excel in the browser but the login
form displays (badly). If I leave out the contenttype then I get the data
I'm sending.

What am I missing?

on this type of issue.

No, not really. I'm not using automation, I'm building a tab-delimited 
document in C#. I think the issue is in forms authentication related to 
setting the content type.

Thanks anyway,
