I am trying to save a file from my website to the users local disk. I want to bring up a SaveAs dialog box to tell me where to write the file.

Can we do that?

We have a couple of buttons in our grid that tells us what files to download. So I don't want to use the FileUpload control as I already have the name and you can't write the name to the control (read only).

Thanks,

Tom
