Re: Downloading file from database

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Oh, i meant it the other way around, by NOT using the real type like pdf but
that inary, you get the download fialog.
But now i see you don't want that.
You might consider to open an new window and point to the pdf.
But i don't think you'll be able to determine if the pdf get's loaded IN the
window or not.

So, leave it to the user..
