Depending on the browser, it may still refuse to run the file. This code should work for MS Powerpoint :- <? $ctype = "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint"; header("Content-Description: File Transfer"); header("Content-Type: $ctype"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=file.ppt;"); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); readfile("C:\FILES\PRESENTATION.PPT"); exit; ?> Rob. *********************************************************************************** Any opinions expressed in email are those of the individual and not necessarily those of the company.
