Is it possbile to force IE users to download an MS Word document that is linked from a web page instead of having it open within the browser window which appears to be the default for most IE users?
 
Hi mate,

Yes, this is possible using the Content-Disposition header.

To get the actual code, you would need to post this in the appropriate server-side forum for the languages you can use.

Hope this helps Wullie
