Another note, I put a <td>=A1+B1</td> and it worked fine (put the formula in and it evaluates just fine that is). Also, if you're having trouble in IE (I didn't, it worked fine) you might try changing the MIME type to something that'll download and give the option of save/open. There was another thread on this list about creating folders (not with PHP, but opening a file dialog so the user could create a folder for the download) that had a lot of good info about forcing the browser to open that dialog box. What problem are you having in IE right now? Is it opening INSIDE IE as an Excel sheet embedded or something (like PDFs do with Acrobat Reader)? I had that happen once or twice while testing the code above. Anyway, good luck. Glad you figured out the session problem, that can be frustrating. -TG -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
