It is made up but the code will prompt IE to download it anyways. Just find the proper mime-type for a microsoft word template .dot file.

yes, you will need the correct mime-type fort he Template, not a document. not even sure if there is a difference. |

It was late when I posted that -- I don't know the mime type for word docs/word templates...I was kinda hoping that'd make it obvious it had to be changed. I apologise for not mensioning it.
I just looked up a reference for ASP to find the functions I wanted to suggest.
I think it just surprized me that nobody else mensioned it -- I didn't know if thats because you didn't want to do it that way or what.

LOL! Thanks guys - this is all appreciated.
The reason behind my asing about the MIME type is simply that by specifying some complete gibberish for the type it ensures that Windows doesn't know what to do with it, therefore it would be more likely to provide a download box (if you follow my logic!).
Anyway, we are all on the same LAN, putts.
Thanks for all your help, everyone - I'm going to check a little deeper into this, as I think the just specifying the application/word type may just cause problems - I may even adopt DP's MIME type!! 
Paul.

it shouldn't matter what mime-type it is, that should almost always give you a download box. even if you specifiy the correct mime.

Okay....then you just need to place the templates on some shared network drive and point the Templates setting in Word > Tools > Options to that folder and you shouldn't have to have the ppl d/l new versions because you should be able to just update the template on that one network share and be done with it.

LOL! If only it was that simple! Half of the Trust have been common desk-topped, some of the Trust have shared template folders, others in the Trust have specialised group template locations (i.e. dealing with specific specialties), therefore setting this up would be even more of a nightmare than simply giving them an icon to click on a webpage is much the simplest option (i.e. having them download the files into their own folder sets). We've already looked at the most logical options for this...
