 Might it be doing this due to PHPAdmin being a
 WebPage application
 and thus being served by your Web Server making the
 file need to be a
 FTP Download <g>?

Well, that's as good an explanation as any. :) It isn't that big a deal; at least I know where I can find everything I download, and I can always copy and rename them and move them somewhere else if necessary.

It just confused me this time around.


I apologize if I seemed to have been flippant in my wording instead of just saying "Here's Why". I am 100% sure of the correctness of my solution (ie: PHPMyAdmin IS a Web Application running on the Web Server not an application running on the user's machine [even if the Server is running on the user's machine it us still the Server not the user who is running the program]). I phrased it that way since it is one of those "Can't see the Forest for the Trees" situations where the answer is obvious once you look at the problem the correct way and want'ed to inject some humor to downplay an offence at pointing out the obvious. If it had been mysqladmin, the file would just be saved since you would be on your machine doing the query not using a Web Browser to issue it to a Web Application.
