We have RadGrids configured to export to CSV, Excel, or PDF. The file names are explicitly set in GridExportSettings.FileName based on grid content, such as "Patient Status Choices". In IE11, this file name is changed by replacing blanks with plus signs, e.g., "Patient+Status+Choices". This does not happen in Edge or Chrome.
Is there a way to get IE to export using the file name exactly as we specify?

Hi Diane,
The experienced issue is related to a browser behavior that, unfortunately, cannot be controlled by us. Even if the filename is encoded before the file creation, the browser parses the spaces in the file name as plus signs. This issue and possible workarounds for it are discussed in the following SO thread, so you can take a look and see if any of the suggestions is applicable to your scenario:
