Print to excel

edited August 2007 in Server
Hi,

i added some buttons to my navigationbar. One of the is a print to CSV
button.
I seems to work fine but there is one thing i can't figure out.

When i push the button the browser asks if i want to open or save
report.xls. If i say open it opens report.csv in the cache directory.
(Notice the extension change).
If is say save. It save report.xls but its content is csv.

I am using 9.02 (with some .pas file Nard mailed me in oktober 2005).

Kan jou give me a hint where to look.

thanks in advance

Ruud

    Whatever I sent to you was likely adapted from the
    RBServer\Demos\WebTier\Custom Viewer example, which shows how to add an
    Excel button. The example defines a custom WebViewerFrameNav descendant
    class. Look at the source to the myWebViewerFrameNav class, my guess is
    there is an XSL reference somewhere that needs to be changed to TXT.

    If you still have an issue, zip up the source we sent and send to
    support@digital-metaphors.com.

    That should have read '...there is an XLS reference somewhere that needs to
    be changed"...

    Hi,

    The problem seems to be server related. Where i tested it i noticed thsi
    strange behavior but on an other machine it worked ok

    I am going to test it on the production machine and if it is working file
    there then i am not putting any effort in it any more.

    kind regards

    Ruud
