Thanks, but I was looking on the lines of a function or command line to redirect back to the same page after the download.

Just for clarification, I am using "post" methods to filter the datagrid and excel file. i'm not considering using querystring at all.

Please post the code for the button click event where you redirect to the Excel.aspx. Also the sample code of the Excel.aspx.vb

Attached is the code for the button. I trigger the postback by firing a btnExcel.click javascript command.
However, if I click the btnFilter after the file is downloaded the datagrid returns to normal functionality. It appears the postback page is set to "excel.aspx" until it is changed back again to "data,aspx" by pressing the second button/

The excel page, calls a component that converts a datagrid to an excel file.  It has one subroutine namely, Convert. This file is attached for convience also.

I have done some research and found a tutorial which is able to change the postback page dynamically by creating a custom button, albeit it is in C#, but I was able to converted it to VB, compiles with no errors, but I do not know how to call the new custom button to be included in the code.  If this tutorial is suitable with a few minor refinements, please let me know. http://weblogs.asp.net/stefansedich/archive/2008/01/16/crosspagepostback-in-new-window.aspx
