Saving database data in a file on the client PC - How?

[Quoted] Can anyone tell me how (or even if?) I can run a pl/sql procedure within a form to create a header followed by a set of data, and have the resultant output end up in a file of the users choice on their Desktop PC.

We are using Forms 6 in a three tier configuration (database server machine, forms server machine, client browser PC). Intermediate files on the forms server are not permitted, so the data has to come straight from the database to the client browser PC.

Can this be done, and if so can anyone provide any pointers as to how to do it (or even a freebie that does it already). This is all at the limits of my experience, so I may well be asking a very stupid question!

Thanks in advance.
