Response.WriteFile is doing exactly what it is supposed to do which is "Writes the specified file directly to an HTTP content output stream.". See here: Click MeWhat is it you are really tring to do? If you want the user to be able to save a file on his hard drive, the easiest way is to simply put a link to it. In which case you would get the Save As dialog box.Did that make sense?
