Why don't you have values in your pragma and cache-control headers?   
That's not legal HTTP syntax and could be one of IE's issues.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] cfcontent in IE7

[Charlie Arehart]

Besides the (as always) sage advice of Dean and Doug, I'll note as well that
sometimes when working with this sort of code, things fail simply because
the first time you ran the code there was an error, and you fixed it, and
refreshed the page, but the browser is still caching the old bad page (or
just some aspect of it). 
 
Try closing the browser and reopening it (or even just browsing the page in
a new window or tab). Let us know if that works.
 
There could be other issues, of course. I've not considered your code
carefully. This is just such a common problem and easy first solution to
try/rule out.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] cfcontent in IE7

[Charlie Arehart]

Though doesn't it make sense to add that there are times when the content of
the page might not otherwise call for those settings? If you set them
always, you could force reloads of the page when it might otherwise benefit
from caching. 

I just meant to say that when first building (or when editing) the code that
builds such a page, you just want to keep this caveat in mind (of needing
sometimes to "re-open" the page) if you ever browse the page and get an
error, or perhaps even when you modify a working page. You just need to
force a reload (and I thought I'd noticed that forced reloads, as available
in various browsers) didn't do the trick.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] cfcontent in IE7

[Dean H. Saxe]

Correct Charlie, but in this case it would be helpful to ensure you  
always get fresh content until everything starts working.  You can  
alternatively use a MITM proxy like Paros to ensure all caching  
headers are ignored, thereby pulling fresh content all the time too.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] cfcontent in IE7

For the benefit of the viewing audience :-),  can you clarify what it was
that "worked" for you, Troy? 

It seems you're referring to Dean's last note, and that may be what you
meant. I'm just curious (for instance, did simply browing the page in a new
window not work for you)?

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] cfcontent in IE7

[Troy Jones]

What did the trick was adding the values in the  tags to force
reloads. I previously had those values at "". When I added the values,
the browser correctly displayed the open/save dialog box and then the
content correctly displayed in the browser window with the Excel
worksheet embedded. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that, but yes, that was
the crux of the issue.
