Thanks Thomas,

Ideally it would be nice if clicking the link would download and offer the the user to install the program. If it cannot be done at this stage, it would be nice if at least a save file dialog popped up (like they do on real internet sites).

The hope hope is that a browser landing on my site wants to download and and evaluate my program (VFP InstallShield SETUP.EXE).

But your example is simple - I like simple - I go to try it now.
Thanks
