Probably specific solution: saving is done via .DLL  (Don't know which). 
Maybe in combination with USER.EXE it's doable to do it right-a-way.

Hi,
I need to generate a text file from database on my server and send it to 
user, for which I need IE to pop up a "save as" window.
But when i point the URL to the file, it being a Text file (abc.txt) IE 
opens (displays contents) it in the window.
I know user can go and save via the browser (File...SaveAs) , but is there 
a way when from server itself I can ensure, it will not be opened in the 
page, but instead a "save as" box will be displayed.
Thanks in advance
Deepak
P.S.  If following details are of any help .........

download class
{
targetFileName = generate file from database and store it at specified 
path
String s= response.encodeRedirectURL("http://serverAddress.................../"+specifiedPath+"\\"+targetFileName);
response.sendRedirect(s);
}
With all this activity, it opens a new window and displays the required 
text file in IE, but does not directly pop up the save as window.
