Problem opening xls file when exporting Datagrid in Excel

[nastoski]

Hello,
I have a problem. Any ideas??

"I have used :
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=myfile.xls")
This opens the file download dialog box with open and save options I have expected. The save button works great, the problem is when I click, Open, excel application opens and then an eror message is displayed something in these lines "the file you are looking for is not found in documents and settings/<user>/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/Contents.IE5...."
And also I oberved that, if I keep the excel application open when I click on the button, the Open button on file download works fine. It opens the excel file.
Can anyone help me solve the mistery??"

Thanks in advance!

Igor

I had the same problem a while ago - in my case the problem was with multiple accounts being created for the same user due to the user's settings being stored remotely (i.e. in documents and settings you would have nastoki, nastoki1,, nastoki2 etc). I think it then got itself into a bit of a pickle when looking for the relevant Temporary Internet Files folder.

Some of the time the error could be avoided by clearing out the temporary internet files folder on a regular basis.
