I have some files I put on the internet page that have spaces in them.
They are actually located like: http://myplace.com/myfiles/excel
file.xls
I serve them out using a cfm script like:
Content-Disposition:attachment; filename=excel file.xls
The when excel opens them it tries to find them in some nebulous
temporary directory first with file.xls, then with excel.xls ( all the
while saying 'the file could not be assessed' with the user pressing ok
), then finally I guess it puts excel file.xls together and it opens up
in excel.
While I'd like to give the user fifty lashes with a wet noodle for
putting spaces in a file name is it possible to tell excel not to parse
the filename coming to it and use the whole thing?
Or, is there some other work aound I am missing?
