Hi Laphan,

Here is one way to do it using ASP:

         sFullFileName = "C:\Test.pdf"
         sFileName = "Test.pdf"
         Response.Contenttype="application/x-unknown"
         Response.Addheader "Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=" & 
chr(34) & sFileName & chr(34)
         Response.Binarywrite GetBinaryFile(sFullFileName)

The function GetBinaryFile looks like this:

Function GetBinaryFile(sFileSpec)
         Const adTypeBinary = 1
         Dim objStream
         Set objStream = Server.Createobject("ADODB.Stream")
         objStream.Open
         objStream.Type = adTypeBinary
         objStream.LoadFromFile sFileSpec
         GetBinaryFile = objStream.read
         Set objStream = Nothing
End Function

This will force the browser to pop up a Save As dialog allowing the user to 
choose a directory to save the file. sFileName will be the suggested name.....

I am sure there are other ways to do this as well, but this one has worked 
for me quite well.
