Hi

I have to use a non-displaying asp page to initiate the download of a file [chosen by the user earlier from a menu], held as a string variable in the form file://<pathname>. Files are typically binary with various extensions. (There are separate reasons why the non-displaying page has to be used, but the normal button with <A HREF....> is obviously not possible here.)

I assume this is a matter of creating a file object, but I haven't been able to create any code that works.

Any ideas please?

TIA, Linnet
