Kevin, You will need to send the header information for the file...then you can do a new header so that you show the "thank you for downloading" page...

Common question becuase of it's somewhat unintuitive nature, but it is very simple. Do a search for keywords "header" and "Content-disposition". That should reveal what you want.
