Hi,

I use odoo8 with old api for the moment.

I have created an xls file and stored it in ir_attachment.

Now i need to download it so the client user can choose to download it in a selected local location or ope the xls file using microsoft excel or any app which can open xls file.

I can see Odoo is using saveas and saveas_ajax, but i'm not able to make that work (not much details on passing data to those methods).

So the question is:

• how to download the xls file in a location that needs to be chosen by the web user?

• or how to write the xls file locally to client side in a location that is chosen by the client user?

Many thanks in advance!
