Hi

I have a web application that uses Office Web Components to create Excel spreadsheets on the fly. What I would like to do is to allow users to save this spreadsheet on their hard drive without having to save the spreadsheet on the server.

Does anyone know how I could do this? I'd like to present them with a standard save as common dialog box so that they can choose the path, and then invoke the saveas method of the Excel object using the path.

I wondered if I could somehow make a client side Windows API call to get the dialog box, but I can't find any information on it.

Is it possible to make an API call with JavaScript?

Thanks in advance for any help!
