Hi All

I have a database that generates xml pages and send them to the browser

The xml pages are basically excel based pages and need to display as
such

In IE7 they display as spreadsheets but in IE6 they display as text
only

the Header of my xml files are as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?mso-application progid="Excel.Sheet"?>
<Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
 xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
 xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
 xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
 xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
 <DocumentProperties xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">
  <LastAuthor>KEN</LastAuthor>
  <LastPrinted>02/01/2007</LastPrinted>
  <Created>2006-12-12T15:08:18Z</Created>
  <Version>11.8107</Version>
 </DocumentProperties>
 <ExcelWorkbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel">
  <WindowHeight>7935</WindowHeight>
  <WindowWidth>14715</WindowWidth>
  <WindowTopX>480</WindowTopX>
  <WindowTopY>555</WindowTopY>
  <ProtectStructure>False</ProtectStructure>
  <ProtectWindows>False</ProtectWindows>
 </ExcelWorkbook>
etc etc etc

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Am I missing something

Thanks in advance

best Regards
