Hi Treasa,

If you add this to your code, it should raise a file download when you click on a link to the file...

Code:

Response.AddHeader "content-disposition", "attachment; filename=myFileName.asp"

Hope this is what you're after.

Just add it to the page you want the user to download, if you want a link in a page to download a copy of itself, you could create a link something like

Code:

<a href="myFileName.asp?dl=1">download this page</a>

and then at the top of the page (in asp), only write the header if the download parameter is set

Code:

If Request("dl") = "1" Then
    Response.AddHeader "content-disposition", "attachment; filename=myFileName.asp"
End If

Cheers,

Chris
