Hi Zuo! Thank you again for your help! I did this and it says that a "}" is missing right after * as in :filename=>*
def exportxml if params[:item_ids] ||= [] @items = Item.find(params[:item_ids]) respond_to do |format| format.xml {send_data @items.to_xml do |xml| xml.instruct! xml.product do for t in @items xml.lineitem(:id=>t.name) do xml.name(t.name) xml.in(t.tradeIn/85.to_i) end xml.logginginfo do xml.lognote(t.note) end end end end end :filename=> "items.xml"} end end end The builder stuff is copied straight from the exportxml.xml.builder. And I don't know if this is helpful -- if I removed the :filename=>"items.xml" from above, it downloads! Yet, it again saves the file without extension and gives me the array of the columns of the table instead of my builder scheme. I am sorry to have to ask for your help again.
