Hi Bill, You can read the file into a local variable, or build it on the fly, then set the http header to something other than an application that the browser will recognize. The browser will then prompt you to download it. Like this:
<@assign local$httpHeader value="HTTP/1.1 <@HTTPSTATUSCODE> <@HTTPREASONPHRASE><@CRLF>Content-Type: application/download<@crlf>Content-Length: <@length <@var local$theFile>><@crlf>Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=<@dq><@var local$fileName><@dq><@crlf><@setcookies><@userreferencecookie><@crlf>> <@purgeresults><@var local$theFile encoding=none> Note that assign tag should all be on one line, and be sure there are no extra characters. You can launch this in a new window or a hidden frame to avoid having the user leave your current page. Also that http header is valid for Witango 5, in previous versions it's slightly different.

We do not ever want it to automatically load into their browser, but the user should always get a "file save" dialog when the click a button or other link. What do I need to do to set up this link? Thanks.
