    That's been a great help, but I have another question.

    I'm automatically making the user save the .doc file, instead of viewing it
    in the web browser using VBScript:

    <%
    Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment;
    filename=ClientReport.doc"
    %>

    However, after doing as you advised below, the header information is saved
    in a separate file, which is not downloaded with the .doc file or even if the
    file is shown in the browser as an .asp page and then saved.

    Do you know how I can get the header page saved on the user's machine as well?

    Thanks,
    Carolyn
