  Try cleaning your internet download temporary folder. You probably have an old download sitting in it.

  Got a c# problem? Try .NET Book Zero from Charles Petzold, it's a free pdf.

  you are correct.

  the first problem was fixed by doing the following:

  in the following code, "filenamewithoutpath" was previously the filename WITH the path. removing the path at line 3 corrected the problem

                  HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
                  HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
                  HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filenamewithoutpath);
                  HttpContext.Current.Response.WriteFile(filename);
                  HttpContext.Current.Response.Flush();
                  HttpContext.Current.Response.End();

  it's not there. also....i append the datetime to the file names so there should never be a duplicate
