I get following error when exporting to Excel.
"The file you are trying to open, 'someFileName[1].xls, is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
Clicking Yes opens the file. I would like to avoid showing the above error to the users.
Following code is used from the click event. I've left the commented code here to show what I've tried based on results from internet search. I have Microsoft Office Excel 2007 on local PC.

View 2 RepliesWe have a tab delimited file that we are making available for download. The file extension is txt, but the users want it to open automatically in Excel. The previous developer had used the following code:
[code]....
The ContentType is being set to Excel, but that doesn't seem to have any effect. I am guessing the txt file extension is causing it to be picked up by notepad or the like instead. I have tried just renaming it to a xls extension, which works but Excel complains that I am trying to trick it or it might be a corrupted file.
We moved to a new SQL server and I started getting an error on one of my sps only when I ran it from a website. If I manually ran the sp it worked fine. The error I got was this System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' cannot be used for distributed queries because the provider is configured to run in single-threaded apartment mode. I can tell you that this sp does some things, then calls another sp which writes some sql to open an excel file and insert the data. Here is the pseudo
SET @sql = 'INSERT INTO dbo.TempParts (partKey, partKeyNumeric, partKeyAlpha, PartNumber, [Description], Comment, notAvailable ,BatchID)
I tried simple code like this using href element. But it tries to open the sheet.xls in the browser window and says it can't find the file. I want the excel file to be opened in excel (not browser).
<a href="file://domainname/vol1/destinationfiles/sheet.xls" >some excel file</a>
Excel cannot open the file "Report.xlsx" because the file format or extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file
View 2 RepliesI have created a CSV file on the server and want to send it to the user using the following code:
Dim strPhysicalPath As String
strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath( "CSV/" & PathVirtual)
Dim objFileInfo As System.IO.FileInfo = New System.IO.FileInfo(strPhysicalPath)
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & objFileInfo.Name)
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", objFileInfo.Length.ToString())
Response.WriteFile(strPhysicalPath)
Response.Flush()
Response.End()
This seems to work fine except when the downloaded file is viewed in Excell the html code behind the page from which it came is also appended to the file. Does anyone have any idea why it does this?

I mean, my sysadmin does not want us installing Excel on the server and, as I have been searching for some alternatives, I can not find one.
My question is: is there a way to put the necessary dlls in the server without installing Excel or the Office suite?
I found this: Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies redistributable package but still, it requires a Microsoft Office Product.
When the user clicks on "OPEN" button, It should open up that(.txt) file which is on the file server in ReadWrite Mode (like in notepad) without any Access Issues.
Or simply has to be openend as temporary READONLY .Txt File. So that the user can close after viewing it.
