Help with making a link download file

[gkbdave]

I have asked this question before but with no luck. I want to have a button link to a file that is downloadable. It will be a word and excel documents. I tried just putting the link in the button on the actions panel. But didn't work. Any ideas. Thanks

didi you try target="blank" ?

[gkbdave]

No I haven't.. Not sure what you mean exactly..

[jasonpratt]

well you know in the actions panel where you have the geturl function? under the address is a target drop down... try setting it to "blank"...

sorry hit back button and it sent another reply.. Yes I know about the get url and blank.. Does this open the file in a seperate window?

[jasonpratt]

yes... but since it's not a browser file it will open/download w/o losing your window
like the music files here:
