No postback after savefile dialog

[Brunhilde]

I finally got my page so you can save a file from the server to the local machine, however, once it is saved the page doesn't refresh itself or continue doing what it should, it just sits there!
The download function is sent the address of the file to download and the name to call it as variables.
Download function code:

Sub test(ByVal strFilename, ByVal strDownloadFilename)
Dim objStream, fso, objFilestream
Dim intFileLength

' clear the buffer
Response.Buffer = True
Response.Clear()

' create stream
objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
objStream.Open()

' set as binary
objStream.Type = 1

' check the file exists
fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If Not fso.FileExists(strFilename) Then
tbFilter1.txt = "File not found"
End If

' get length of file
objFilestream = fso.GetFile(strFilename)
intFileLength = objFilestream.size

objStream.LoadFromFile(strFilename)

'format strFileName
If Len(Trim(strDownloadFilename)) > 0 Then
strDownloadFilename = Trim(strDownloadFilename)
Else
strDownloadFilename = objFilestream.name
End If

' send the headers to the users browser
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & strDownloadFilename)
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", intFileLength)
Response.Charset = "UTF-8"

' output the file to the browser
Response.BinaryWrite(objStream.Read)
Response.Flush()

' tidy up
objStream.Close()
objStream = Nothing

'objFilestream.Close()
objFilestream = Nothing
fso = Nothing

tbFilter1.Text = "Done!"

End Sub

I can step through past the end, but it doesn't DO anything! The text "Done!" never appears, and there is no postback. If I click something else, I get writing appearing in the background f the website.

Why oh why?!?

Classic ASP does not have that type of functionality. What is 'tbFilter1'? You cannot set the text value of a textbox (or other HTMl control) from the server via a .Text property.

You must use Response.Write() to print text to the output from within an ASP environment.

Alternatively, you could use Response.Redirect() to redirect the user to another page after the function is completed.

Well it is ASP.NET, but I figured here was probably a better place for it than the generic .NET section.

The textbox is an ASP:TEXTBOX.

This is all done in the codebehind, not in the HTML part.

Ok, this forum only deals with classic ASP. I will move this thread for you.
