How do I add a hyperlink to a downloadable file?

[Guest]

I'd like to post a registration form on the website that can be directly
downloaded (and printed) by users, but I can't figure it out. Any help?

Zip it first and then link to it. Or make it a PDF and link to it.

If you want the user to be able to download a file:
import the file into your Front Page web, create a
hyperlink (text, picture, whatever on a web page) and
publish. The visitor will have to have the program on
their computer (eg, Miscrosoft Word if a .doc file) to
open the file.

If you want the user to simply have a form to fill out
and print a copy for their reference and to snail mail it
to you the above would work just fine.

You don't state your level of expertise with Front Page
and the type of host your site is on but if you are
hosted on a server that supports the Front Page
Extensions, you could create your registration form that
could be filled out on line and the results forwarded to
you (see Front Page Help: Forms). The visitor could then
print out the filled out form using their browser
(Internet Explorer or whatever) so that they could have a
copy. You could state on the form that they should print
a copy for reference.

So many options. So little time!

Make sure you follow all that good advice so the first person that downloads
your files can tell everybody else how to grab it too %-)
