. Sorry, I can't tell you how to do that with FoxWeb, but I'm sure you must be able to set the content type header, can't you? It's the same thing you would do if you were returning a Word document to the browser from a web request.

FoxWeb allows me to return meta data via the command:

html_out='Content-type header: application/pdf '+chr(10)+chr(10)+ReadFile('D:\Engineering\pdfs\' + mTmpPdfFile)

But here is what happens using I.E. 5.5

When I press the button requesting the report be generated I see it first thinking, then I see the Adobe Acrobate reader start. But then the 'Open With' dialog came up and asked me to 'Choose the program you want to use to open the file' 'webnsp5e6807c5(1)'. I searched my system and found that this file is in my temporary internet files section on my hard drive. My thinking is that I.E. got the message that application/pdf was coming, but read in the stream as a temp file and did not put an extension out in the temp file area. Thus could not figure out how to show it.

Any thoughts?
