I have several ASP.Net pages which allow the user to view
the content in Excel. To do this I am using the
line 'Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"'
in the Page_Load event. For Win 2K machines running IE
5.0 this does not cause a problem, however for machines
running Win XP and IE 6.0 it generates a fatal error
dialog box stating that Excel needs to close. Is this a
known Excel/IE error or am I doing something incorrectly?
 
Obviously this is not normal.
Make sure you're up to date on your patches.
If that doesn't work, make sure you don't have anything funky in your Excel
output.
