The most common way of forcing a download is to use the .exe mimetype -- 'application/octet-stream' If you're using Apache, you can place the following in the .htaccess file for the folder holding the .por files. This will ensure that the files are always downloaded, even if the files location is entered via the address bar. (the alternative option being store the files above the root directory and only allow the download script to access them) <Files *.por> ForceType application/octet-stream </Files> HTH, Andrew. ------ http://leftjustified.net/ N���.�Ȩ�X���+��i�� n�Z�֫v�+��h��y�m�����쵩�j�l��.����f���.�ץ�w�q����(��b��(��,�)උazX����)��
