One of the problems is that I'm unable to reproduce the
problem. My IE 6.0 just works fine.

Ahmad,
could you try to to removed the following lines from
wis_export_file.php
and try this again with Hussein?
if(array_key_exists("action", $_REQUEST)) {
header("Content-type: text/plain");
}

We are now using 1.2.4 release.
The sql statements are created as echos. and as plain file, if you select save as from the file menu, the resulted file will contain the internal calls in the code not only the sql statements.
In all cases the best way to do this is to do one of the following ways:
Way 1:
-- select all the text in the screen and copy, and paste them in any text file, and run this text file.
Way 2:
--right click on the screen, select view source, save the file and run it.

What calls are those? Could you post an example?

I've read this comment before. It triggered my questions.
Are you saying that there is no bug? Then why do you post a workaround in the same message?
Let's try to look at the details of this long-standing bug.
> The sql statements are created as echos
Basically all PHP applications create their web output through echo. Where is the problem here?
> . and as plain file
Correct. A plain text file with SQL statements gets sent to the browser

Are you saying that using "Save as" in IE gives a different result than clicking on the link?
Is IE issuing a different request to the server in that case? If yes, what is the difference in the request?

-clicking save as in IE will save the file the select file format with the created statements.
-There is no link created on the page?!.
-Selecting save page as in FireFox will create an out put file with the following error message
"-- WIS export file created 2007-07-01 11:28 by BMFO user 'bmfo'
