Subject:  Response.ContentType problem
I'm trying to bring up a page in Excel with an IE browser using Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel". I've used this dozens of times with ASP and the old Foxweb 1.x with no problems.  I have a script running in Foxweb 2.x that does the following:
 
<%
code
.
.
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
%>
 
then html to define the table.  The page is about to display when a download prompt appears, Excel launches, and a blank Excel page resutls.  If I comment out the Response.ContentType code, an html table appears fine.  I can save the output source html to a .fwx file and add just the <% Response.ContentType="application/vnd.ms-excel %> code at the top of the file and it runs and displays fine.  Only when running the additional code do I get the download and blank Excel page.
 
Any ideas would be appreciated.
