Public Property ContentType() As String

{remarks}
In most browsers, Microsoft Excel files are mapped to the MIME type "application/vnd.ms\-excel" and [ContentType|ExcelTemplate.ContentType] is set to this value by default.  However, some browsers map Excel files to a different MIME content type, and the browser will not open a file of type "application/vnd.ms\-Excel." In this case, set {{ContentType}} to the appropriate MIME content type.

In Internet Explorer, to find out what MIME content type maps to Excel files:

  # Open the Start menu and select Run.

  # Entire _regedit_ to open the Registry Editor.
  # Open HKEY\_CLASSES\_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type.  This folder contains a list of MIME content type folders.  If you select a folder, you will see the extensions to which the type maps in the right frame.

In Netscape Navigator, to find out what MIME content type maps to Excel files:

  # In the browser window, open the Edit menu and select Preferences...

  # In the Category window select Applications.

  # In the Description window, select an application to display its MIME content type.

{{ContentType}} is a *Read/Write* property.
