| re: Forcing a file download w/ a button
This may do what you want (here file names for download are listed in a
radio button list)
Dim filepath As String
Dim filename As String
If Me.RadioButtonList1.SelectedIndex <> -1 Then
filename =
Me.RadioButtonList1.Items(Me.RadioButtonList1.Sele ctedIndex).Text
filepath = Server.MapPath(".") & "\downloads\" & filename
Else
Exit Sub
End If
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", _
"attachment; filename=""" & filename & """")
Response.WriteFile(filepath)
