Just add the link as normal, <a href="myfile.xls">MyFile.xls</a> and
hten depending on the browsers configuration and the client PC's MIME
types (niether of which you can change) it will handle the file. You
may want to consider how it would work in an non-MS/non-Excel
environment such as Linux, Unix, Mac or a home user without Excel.

Hi Gregory ,
I have tried this but it opens for me the file in the browser and not saving
it , I want to do the same as when we do it with *.exe files , it giving us
a "save as" window , and then the user can chose where to save it !
Thank You !
Mouna Elias.

Mouna,
You can't alter this, what is going on is defined by the MIME
types on the client machine, you have no access to this via a web
browser as it is stored in the registry, each user may handle the file
differently, you can change YOUR MIME types to get this to work if you
want.

MIME is the name given to in this case to a list of handlers that
determine what acitons are available for a given file type (such as
DOC, EXE, HTML etc) and what each of these actions does. E.g :
DOC
Open Action = Open Word and then open selected file in Word
HTML
Open Action = Open Internet Explorer and then open selected file
in Internet Explorer
They can be found in the Windows Explorer under View / Options / File
Types or in the Registry.
