Why isn't the user presented with a Save As dialog box when I issue a
REDIRECT = "http://68.88.85.107/txrealestatedatabank/Labels.tps"
???
If I paste the exact same information in my browser address window, I get
the Save As window like I want. I need to be able to 'force' this to happen
without the user having to click on a link or anything. When a certain page
opens, it should automaticly force this download and their browser should
open the Save As dialog.
Thanks
Chris

This has to be an issue with the ContentType not being what you expect (or
need). I've used
Response.ContentType = "text/xml"
at the top of my app's "code" page to override the default of "text/html"
when I was dumping XML to the browser - however the "Option Explict" in
Common.asp must be commented out. The ContentType has to be the first thing
you do, and the way the Common files are included, the Option statement
screws this up. So I just took it out.
I guess what I am saying is that despite being a "tps" file, it probably is
being given to the browser as if it was "htm" and the browser intervenes
with a "whatchu talkin 'bout?" handler when it sees this as a conflict.

Or maybe:
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=filename.zip"
