Hi, Is it possible to set the output file name of a excel file from
javascript?

I have a code which copies the content of an html page and pastes it
into excel. I want the user to save the document himself but I want to
suggest the file name so when the user clicks on the save button the
name is already set.


I have found the workbooks(1).name propertie but it seems to be
read-only.

Please help!

 From the little you're giving about your code, I can only assume a few 
things.

// assuming you've previously gotten a reference to the workbooks object
workbooks(1).SaveAs("c:\\dir\\MyNewFileName.xls");
