Save an access table to .txt and .rtf
Seems very close. When I use <%Response.ContentType =
"application/vnd.ms-excel"%>, it automatically gives the file rxtension .xls.
But when I use <%Response.ContentType = "application/msword"%>, it give the
extension .doc (I want it to be .rtf), and when I use <%Response.ContentType =
"text/plain"%>, it just show this file but not save it. Anything wrong.
Thank you.
