Hi David,

I guess the links I sent you didn't do the job then...

How about 2 links on the page, 1 to the pdf that will open it in the
browser.
The other to a zip of the pdf that can be downloaded.

Too simple?  ;-) 

cheers

Group,

I couldn't work out how this could be done so I am trying the group
again.

I am using VB.net in Visual Studio 2005.  This is a web application.  I
have code that gets the path and name of a pdf file located on a server.
What I want to do within the code is have a file download box open which
gives the user an option of opening or saving the PDF file.

The Process class doesn't deem to help because it tries to open the file
on the web server (and not the user's).

My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile Method seems to require a destination
path and filename, but I don't want it to automatically be saved.
