Thanks so much for the bit of code last night concerning onclick closing of the pop-up window. It seemed to come very close to working. Another member suggested I use php header downloads to accomplish my pop-up window task. I looked into that and it would require a complete re-write of the pop-up structure which I am probably not capable of doing. I am wondering if you might have any other ideas on how to use onclick to close the pop-up. Using your code from last night the proper link DOES pop up when I hover the mouse over the download button but it just won't trigger the download. It seems on the brink of working possibly. Thanks again for all your help - I'm pretty desperate on this. -matt
