Use RegisterStartupScript to add a script block that fires a URL to the file. Just look up RegisterStartupScript in the help :-D

Thanks, I have looked up and found the method. But I really don't know how to write the client script to fires the URL to the file. Zeke

The most common way that most web sites use is to include the following in your page header:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=path/to/download.file">

where 5 is the number of seconds before downloading begins. Don't forget the value of viewing web sites' source to figure out how they do things.
