saving .Doc (office) file

[F@yy@Z]

Hi all

I have to allow users to download files after checking users validity and I
cannot give full URL of file to download e.g www.myserver.com/mydoc.doc

I have seen ASP code some where in MSDN where users has to enter URL like
www.myserver.com/mydoc.asp and this will download the doc file.

I searched but still no luck to find that code.

Will be very thankfull if some one advise or refer me.

Regards

Fayyaz

Thanks Tom for your reply.

When I tried this code, Its working fine on few machines but on one machine
its not allowing to save/open document but its writing the contents on page.
I think its some thing related to browser settining or MIME Settings.

How to slove this so it always prompt for save/open the contents in related
application.
