'Save as' dialog box for text files

[cawthor]

I am generating a text file via ASP. I want to display a 'Save As' dialog box to the user instead of just opening the text file within the browser. I have found a few examples on the web such as:

Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=test.txt")
Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
Response.WriteFile("c:/inetpub/

http://wwwroot/mysite/test.tst")

Response.Flush()

All the examples I have found use a variation on the above 'AppendHeader' line, but my browser keeps giving me the following error (referring to that line):

'Cannot use parentheses when calling a Sub'

Any help would be appreciated!

THanks.

Response.Buffer = True
Dim strFilePath, strFileSize, strFileName

Const adTypeBinary = 1

strFilePath = "C:\ your path"
strFileSize = ... the size of file .. optional
strFileName = file name

Requires MDAC 2.5
but MDAC 2.6 or 2.7 is better



Set objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
objStream.Open
objStream.Type = adTypeBinary
objStream.LoadFromFile strFilePath

strFileType = lcase(Right(strFileName, 4))
