If you download a file from a script, you can do only that, you can't output HTML, javascript, or any redirection headers. That being said, it *may* be possible to send a multipart response with a file and redirection, but I'm not sure of this at all. AFAIK, the browser shouldn't display a blank page when you download a file as long as it's in an exising window. It should stay on the page where you clicked the "download" link. -- DB_DataObject_FormBuilder - The database at your fingertips http://pear.php.net/package/DB_DataObject_FormBuilder paperCrane --Justin Patrin--
