Without being able to see any of your code, it's difficult to know how to help. At a wild guess, you've got a page (Page1.aspx) which contains a link to a second page (Page2.aspx). Page2.aspx creates the excel file and sends that as it's response, and marks the content disposition as an attachment (thus suggesting to the browser that it open the file in the appropriate application). However, the problem is that the link in Page1.aspx includes a target specification of _blank, and so when users are clicking on the link, it's opening a new browser window first. If all the above wild speculation is correct, then the fix is to remove the target="_blank". If it's not correct, maybe you can post some actual information that would allow us to see what the problem is? Damien
