comma-delimited .txt file. This has been working great

you save the file wherever you like, using

> Netscape displays the textfile in the browser, which you then save by
hitting File/Save As. Again, works great.

that the routine creates.

> Stimied, I update 5 to 5.5 on my machine, and lo and behold, the same
thing happens to me. I go ahead and save it,

generated web page). Only it gets saved with an

directory. I'm thinking this part of the

> Anyway, IE5.5 seems to be 1) ignoring the <cfheader> code, 2) saving the
wrong file, and 3) setting the extension

ignoring the code which creates the new file.
