File Open Problem. Open in Browser But need in Access

Dear friends,

I developed an application in MS-Access and having as"FutureStat.bak" I want this file to be distrubuted over network. So, i placed the file in Stat folder under root folder with an index file which gives a hyperlink to this file.

If i use tomcat 4.1 it prompts forOpen With / Save

But my company is havingTomcat 5.5 , which opens the file in browser. with some unicode format. I need tomcat to prompt forOpen With or Save is there any code for opening ?

Thanks in Advance,

Rengaraj

It's more likely a configuration problem in the server itself, it must be configured to open that format for some reason.

You could create a download server which reads the file from disk and outputs it to the browser using the content-type "application/octet-stream". That will force a download box. Search this forum, it is asked almost every day.
