I have a number of links to Excel spreadsheets on my web pages each is linked in the style shown below

<a href="TestSheet.xls"> Test Excel</a>

Id there an easy way to make it so that if someone left clicks the link it goes directly to Save the file rather than open it ?

Thanks in advance
 
Not with HTML. If you can play with server settings, you can make the server send the file with an unknown mime type and that will force clients to pop up a save file dialog.
