How can I programmatically using VBScript make IE display the download file box like when you click on an HREF in the browser that points to a file. Essentially, I have an HREF that points to a file on a server. I need to be able for the user to choose a location to download the file except that I need to bring up the download file dialog box via VBScript. Anyone know how to?

Thanks,

U need to use a href method to an valid download file such as zip, exe or other format witch is recognized by the browsers.(ie
Code:
<a href=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]www.mydomain.com\mydir\myfile.zip&quot;>Donload[/URL] File</a>
