I don't know if this is what your looking for but see code below
I use this in a file called getfile.asp. On a web page listing documents (of
any type really) you would click a link to the getfile.asp sending the file
name and an action in the querystring.
For this example sending Now or Later as the action will either do the Save
As prompt or will open the document in the browser window.
There is also a call to a stored proc that will track the amount of times
the file was accessed.
Hope this helps.
=================
Dim strFile, strFileAction
strFile = Request.QueryString("file")
strFileAction = Request.QueryString("action")
If strFile <> "" Then
Call ExecQuery(connString, "EXEC procPublic_LibFileClick '" & strFile &
"'")
If strFileAction = "later" Then
'On Error Resume Next
Dim strFilePath, strFileSize, strFileExt, strFileType
Dim objSendFile
strFilePath = Server.MapPath(strFile)
'Response.Write strFilePath
'Set objSendFile = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload")
'objSendFile.SendBinary strFilePath, True, "application/octet-stream",
True
Set objSendFile = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
objSendFile.Open
objSendFile.LoadFromFile strFilePath
Response.ContentType = "xxx/xxx"
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" &
strFile
Response.BinaryWrite objSendFile.ReadText
Set objSendFile = Nothing
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
'Call TrapError(Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.Source)
End If
ElseIf strFileAction = "now" Then
With Response
.Write "<html><head></head><body onload=""window.document.location='" &
strFile & "'""></body></html>"
End With
End If
End If

Hi,
Doesn anyyone know the proper lines of ASP code to sucessfully retrieve a
pdf file from SQL server. Everytime I run my code I get gibberish all over
the screen. I would like it to prompt me to save the file to disk.
