Hello,

[Quoted] We are running Oracle Web Server 3.0 on a HP mini. We would like to know how to get a plsql procedure to send the appropriate mime header followed by data in csv format and then get the browser to run a specific Excel worksheet with the data.

Eg
1.User invokes plsql procedure using browser 2.Data arrives from Web Server mime-header followed by data in csv format
3. Browser runs Excel application abc.xls with csv data.

The questions are what would be the syntax of the plsql procedure ie use owa_util.mime_header etc.

How should the browser have the mime-header configured to the Excel worksheet

Thanks
