1 - i have a site that runs on my intranet.
i have a database on sql server.
there is an asp page that lists all documents that users want to download .

doclist.asp:list the all documents (their ID,Code,Name,Desc,..)
when the user click the ID link, i want server to download the file to clients machine.i mean users shouldnt know where the files are located.
how can i make server download file to clients machine?
should i write a dll?

2 - How can i find the computer name?
server.variables("REMOTE_ADDR") gives IP
server.variables("REMOTE_HOST") should give the name but it gives same id. in the microsoft help file it says :
"The name of the host making the request. If the server does not have this information, it will set REMOTE_ADDR and leave this empty."

thanx...

Just make a hyperlink to a page and set the download as the content of a frame. This will hide the URL.

Beyond that There's very little you can do if the users are technical as you MUST connect to a server to download from it.

When you say documents I take it you mean fiels not records from teh database.
