They played with the MIME headers. The "View" Link uses application/pdf, which will probably be viewed since most web surfers have a PDF viewer installed. The "Download" link uses application/octet-stream, which almost always prompts a download since the browser cannot know what application to use to open the file. You will have to write PHP code to specify the MIME headers if you want to do the same thing. Tony -- Anthony E.
