How to launch a delimiteddata/spreadsheet/excel report from Forms stand alone or web start

Doug ClarkDec 6 2021

Thanks in advance for your time and assistance
I am testing an existing Form on both stand alone and web start. I am not able to successfully run a delimited data report. I see the successful result on the report server (showjobs). I do receive a file but it is not handled and I have no way to open it.
I am calling Web.show_document to run the report, with these parameters: &desformat=spreadsheet&delimited_hdr=no&mimetype=application/vnd.ms-excel
I think the browser was able to open the returned file due to the mime type. How can this be handled in standalone or web start?
