Found the problem. It is the odbc_connect() that cause the download to fall short of completing it's download. Weird! I think it's because the database connection have a slower response time than the download response time. PHP header should not be affected by the odbc function... But then I remember about the past problem with the CGI Error when it come to php header function and odbc which I don't have this problem with ISAPI. Funny I'm getting this problem, but fortunately, the workaround is to do the odbc connection after I use the php header and that took care of it.....
