First, what is the HTML you end up with ? Is it a link to an Excel file ? If so, is Excel on the target machine ? If not, if it's converted and the Excel part is irrelevant, is the data coming out OK ? What does the actual HTML end up looking like ? What does your debugger tell you ?

If you put the src attribute on an iframe to be an excel file the browser then has control as to whether it is displayed in the browser or opened in a new window. I don't believe you can force it to stay in the iframe.
