Hey John!

It's a great honour to talk to you. Your Spreadsheet::WriteExcel is just unbelievable. It is being of huge help with the site I´m working on right now - this one is for me, not for a client. You´ve done a great job, congratulations!

In fact, your binmode tip was precise. It´s working just fine now. Thanks!

The only thing that´s not too beautifull for the user is that when the dialog box appears, it shows: "Downloading the file: export.cgi?action=3. Do you wish to open it or save it?". Is there any way to skip that dialog and go straight to the window 'Save as'? Any hacks to do it?

In fact, the browser is correct; but he´s showing the secret of the magic...lghs

Take care, John!

André
