Fw: Worksheet has corrupt name after download of csv

Below a problem is described that occurs when offering csv files for
download that are passed from IE6 to Excel. Since no solution is known
at the side of Excel, maybe a workaround can be found at the side of
IE6.

I would like to force IE6 to store its temporary file for my csv using
a file name that does not include brackets: [ and ], as it normally
does. Is there a way to achieve this from the web server?

I would guess that you're referring to a number in brackets as part of the
name. This is because there is already a file by that name in TIF. IE
first downloads to TIF and then moves it to whatever folder was specified.
The only way to avoid the number in brackets is to clear TIF before
downloading.
