ASP Examples

The following examples illustrate solutions to some commonly requested 'how do you do it' questions in asp.

To use these I suggest you create a new empty web in FrontPage, close it, and then unzip the example you want into the web folder. Then re-open the web and explore the contents. In some cases there are notes in a text file. In all examples the code is well documented. If you have any problems email me and I will do my best to help.

This causes problems if the user then tries to save the documents. The example shows how a file download dialog box can be forced for any file or document type.
