When people click and go to a new URL on another server that contains a program or database application, it always asks if they want to "Open or Save" the file. I don't want them to save the file, just be able to execute it where it is (which I gues means the defult should be Open). Any ideas?

No. If this were possible, think how many Web sites would
be sending you viruses.

This is an Access database for an Intranet site. We don't want anyone downloading the large database just to access it

Since this is a intranet site, store the db outside of the web site,
somewhere on the server and use a System DSN or DSNless connection.

It appears that you want to provide a link to the database files so that
user can actually download them, if this is correct, then you need to
convert the .mdb to .zip using a zip application, then import the files into
your current open FP web and then create a link to them.

The System DSN or DSNLess connection is only need if you want to use ASP to
display the data from the databases on your pages.
