Oh well never mind. Thanks anyway.

I have a function in my CGI program that allows the download of some of the data on site as an excel file. The function executes correctly, displays the file download dialogue box, and when I select &quot;save to disk&quot;, downloads the file as required. <br />
<br />
However, if &quot;Open this file from its current location&quot; is selected, the dialogue appears again before the file begins to download.<br />
<br />
I presume this must be a bug in I.E 5.00 - the version I am currently using, but is there any way to by-pass this? <br />

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
