Re: How to invoke file/MIME

Alan,
First, thanks for the reply. I'm not sure if the filetype is the issue
because of the following:
1. I select the account that I want to download and click a Download button.
Another page appears with a list of 7 or 8 different formats that they
support including .csv, MS Money, 2 different quicken formats, et al.
2. At the bottom of the same page the following message is displayed even
before a file type has been selected.

"NOTE: When you click on 'Download', your browser may display the
information directly on the browser instead of prompting you to Save/Open the
file. This means that your browser is not setup to understand the 'File/MIME
Type' of the file you are trying to download. To resolve this issue, follow
the steps provided by your operating system vendor."

2. I tried selecting several different file types for download (2 quicken &
..csv) and each attempt created a display of characters down the left side of
the screen.
