Problem with hyperlink

[Milo]

I have created two hyperlinks on my page. The two files
that the hyperlinks linked to were in the same folder. One
of the hyperlink opened the file directly and the other
gave me the "File Download" dialog box when I clicked on
them. I just wanted to open the file directly without the
file download dialog box. Could you tell me how to fix it.

What type of files
- if they are not recognized by the browser you will get the download prompt

Stefan-
The file that opens is a PowerPoint presentation, the
one that downloads is an Access DB. I replied yesterday
that it was normal behavior. I couldn't explain why though.

Browsers won't open Access files
See FP help on using a Database w/ Forms
(you will need a server that supports ASP)
