Problem downloading .xls file

Question

Hi All,
Im getting problem when trying to export a spread sheet. Initially teh filename was hardcoded and so it was working fine in IE. The code then was
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=Details.xls");     
outStream.write(Results.toString().getBytes());
outStream.close();
later the reqmt changed to some new naming conventions for the file and so i modified the code like
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat ("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
java.util.Date currentDate = new java.util.Date();
String dateString = formatter.format(currentDate);
String fileName = dateString+".xls";
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename="+fileName);
the problem im facing now is the in the pop up for download the file name is my servlet name appended with some unknown string which includes numbers and characters. the file type shown is html.If you click save open then a new html page is been displayed with all the values.
Please help me with this issue.
Thanks

Thank you so much Shanu. Its working now. It was my carelesness or rather my ignorance which caused this prob.
But Im still having a query, the excel sheet is having a [1] appended to the file name for ex 19-Jun-2006 06-46-05[1] and the client is not happy with that.
What is the reason for that square bracket and is there any way we can cut that off? your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
