Re: How to redirect after the download starts

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

When you open a new window to another address, it will open the new window.
When the only thing sent by the server to the "new" browser window, is a
downloaded file, on my Windows 2000 Client, it basically closes out the
window and switches to a dowload dialog.

You will probably want to test this, but I believe it should work.
