Um, its kinda hard to figure out what you want from that post. What format are the "subject notes" in? If you just put them in a zip file, the "Save as" dialog opens automatically.
If not, see Vlince's post below.

What?
You have a table? Like a database TABLE or an HTML <table>?
What's a "subject note" and how did it upload itself using your system? Heuh?

Do you mean something like:
I have a <form>...</form>. The user fills in the <form> and submits the data. I then retrieve the data and INSERT inside my database???

Oh ok, when the users *uploaded* their "subject notes" you've INSERTed them inside a TABLE called upload
Is that correct?

Ok now you've lost me...


I have an idea of what you want, but I'm missing something...

For example, you'd like to read from the database and display a nice formated html <table> with hyperlinks.
When the user clicks the hyperlink, you want the download dialog box to appear so that the user can SAVE the file on *HIS* disk.

Notice that I said *the file* that's right, it has to be a file in order to be saved.

So my question to you is:
"These "subject notes" you talk about, are they files that people/users upload?"

Hope this helps!
Sincerely

yes...

are you needing help retreiving files from the DB, or are you needing help with the links stored in the DB saying where the files are? If it's the later you can just display the link and when they click it poof, would you like to save.

any extention your server is not set up to interpret automatically is displayed with a save as box, so it's all handled for you if that's the question.
