Excel embedded in web browser

[Eddy]

Hi all, need help in solving this myth.
I needed my users to click on the EXCEL icon from
the Online Apps that was developed with VB.NET containing
data they've requested. Intentionally, I wanted those
data to be display in the EXCEL CONSOLE. But somehow,
without knowing how, it started to download those data to
EXCEL EMBEDDED IN POPUP WEB BROWSER instead. Since I have
it configure to be a "Menuless" frame, so users with EXCEL
EMBEDDED IN POPUP WEB BROWSER cannot save the file at all.

Question 1: Why is this happening?
Question 2: How to resolve this from happening?

Thanks a million
Eddy

Question 1: Why is this happening?

Your web server is defaulting to do things this way. It's in the "MIME
Types" section of the server. How you set this depends on what web server
you're using.

Question 2: How to resolve this from happening?

Configure your web server with the appropriate MIME type. Or, put the file
in a zip archive -- that way your users can unzip the file and get at the
spreadsheet inside.

Hi Eddy,
You need to configure each users machine.
