PDF download instead of displaying

[TRACEYMARYLAND]

hi i have an asp page that display form....i fill this in and it then creates an FDF and that creates the PDF.

When i run the following down below it brings up....save
file download and is not just displaying the pdf file.
All other pdf files display correctly.


But then if i go back to the directory it has created the pdf correctly....i can click on this and it displays great....



So it looks like the server is not issuing the pdf when it is requested...

Any suggestions
i am basically working through this example

I saw this
In order for IE to respond correctly to this action you need to have the file type, FDF registered in your Windows Explorer - View - Options - File Types tab. Make sure the following exist there:

Registered File Type : Adobe Acrobat Form Document
Extension : FDF
Content Type (MIME) : application/vnd.fdf
Opens With : Acrobat Reader (pointing to your copy of Exchange or Reader)

but i can't find file types tab in the windows explorer..
