Well, in your getdata script you must have set the Mime header to something like: header("Content-type: image/gif"); Right? According to my trusty list of Mime Types, the one for tiff is supposed to be image/tiff so put something like header("Content-type: image/tiff"); in your getdata.php3 file when it serves up tiffs. These commands essentially let the web browser know what kind of file is coming down the pipe, so it can launch the appropriate application/plugin for the file. -k
