hyperlink file download

[Ray]

How can I get a hyperlink on my webpage to download a .pdf file instead of
opening it? I am sure there is some way to do it but I cannot find it. I am
using Front Page XP

Hi Ray:
If the user has the Adobe Reader on their PC, it's going to open in the
reader. Put the PDF file into a Zip file, import the Zip file into your web
and create a link to it.

I tried this code from interlacken.com but all it did was display the code on
the web browser...My ISP has the server extensions installed properly and
according to them they can run the asp's but it still does not work. Any
suggestions???

Does your server support ASP and was the page a .asp page

The server supports asp, however, the page extension that has the link to the
asp was .html
