Help with inserting a download link ... 

I am using FP2003. What I want to do is set up a link on a web page that will allow the viewer to click on a button that will automatically download an "exe" program that I am providing from my FTP server. I want it to either execute or save from the FTP site. I know I can "right click" a file link and save that way but I want it to be more professional.

Hello,
Just link to it as you would link to a page ....make it clear however that it is an .exe they are downloading. When people click on it they are generally then given the option to Run or Save. Personally one should never "run" an .exe direct from a website if avoidable but save to computer first.
