 Re: ASP download for PDF files not working
Hi Jeff
Sorry for the delay in coming back to you.
Basically I know it isn't reading the file in properly, because when the
download is trying to initiate I can see that it doesn't know what the
filename is and therefore says that it can't find the path.
It can't be a fault of the code, because the exact same code works if the
file is smaller.

How do you know it does nothing?
