FYI: I used the file type of text/plain for example. You will need to change this to whatever filetype you are trying to work with.
In your case, maybe application/dat will be what you're looking for.

I've configured my file associations in UltraEdit (on the client) to open .dat files. When I click on the link the file gets opening in Ultraedit which is what I want. For some reason if the following tags are in the datafile <title>, <head>, <body>...etc the file get sent to the browser. Can someone explain why? How do I get around this problem? The "X" is a mapped driver letter on the client PC pointing to a specific directory on the server. <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Test</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <a href="file://z:\directory\subdirectory\testfile.dat">Test File</a> </BODY> </HTML> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your ad could be here.
