>I am trying to download a file using ASP from SQL server.  My basic setup is
>that a visitor clicks a link which references the unique id of the file in
>the database.  Something like this:
>
><a href="download.asp?id=341">A Tribute to PowerPoint</a>
>
>Download.asp consists of:
>	set conn = server.createobject("adodb.connection")
>	set rs = server.createobject("adodb.recordset")
>	rs.Open "SELECT * FROM cctProjectFiles WHERE id=" &
>Request.QueryString("id"),conn
>	Response.ContentType =  rs("contentType")
>	Response.BinaryWrite rs("picdata")
>	Response.End
>
>The file downloads fine and everything, but the problem that I am having is
>that the file downloads as download.asp so when the user tries to save the
>file they are prompted to save a file called "download.asp?id=341.doc".  I
>would like them to automatically be prompted for the name of the file (A
>Tribute to PowerPoint), which is also stored in the database record
>and can be referenced with rs("fileName").
