Save As file format different than XLS format downloaded via CFCONTENT

Asked by calibreinc in ColdFusion Studio, Cold Fusion Markup Language

Tags: CFCONTENT

I'm using CFQUERY to pull data from the database and the following tags to dump the data to an Excel attachment.

<CFHEADER name="content-disposition" value="attachment;filename=ORDABPacketDownload.xls">
<CFCONTENT TYPE="application/vnd.ms-excel">

I save the file to my desktop, open the file in Excel, make a change and click the save button; then I receive the following pop-up message (untitled1.jpg).

If I click the No button, the Save As box displays (untitled2.jpg) but the Save as Type box displays as Web Page (*.htm, *.html); is there anyway to download a "true" Excel file that doesn't require the Save As process?

Thanks!
