export button opens document in browser

[Mark]

Hi,

Clicking on the export button opens the document in the browser in IE 7.0. Can you provide a way for it to prompt a dialog box to save instead?

Thanks & Regards

Hello Mark,

Have you tried to set OpenInNewWindow property to true?

<ExportSettings OpenInNewWindow="true" .../>
<MasterTableView ...>

yes i did try that, no luck! What basically i want is, on clicking the open button on the dialog box, the file should open in excel and not browser, especially in ie 7.

Hello Mark,

I recommend that you test the same project on several machines to see if they all behave in the same way.
Alternatively you could download NirSoft's FileTypesMan (freeware) and check the file settings on your machine.

Instructions:
- open FileTypesMan
- press CTRL + F (Find)
- enter XLS (or other file extension)
- double click on the corresponding line.
- make sure that the "Don't open inside a Web browser window" checkbox is checked
