custom download box

Hi

My website offers downloads in the form of a PDF. At present when a user clicks to download the standard download dislog box pops up offering user to "open", "save" and "cancel".

Now my PDF's are restricted so I have put them in a folder in front of the the root directory of the site so a user cannot "open" the file they must "save". Although I have given users many instructions to save and not open (Including a page where Save is highlighted in red and 4 X the size of any other content!) users are still pressing the open button and complaining when an error appears.

Is there anywya to sort this out, perhaps produce my own custom download box??

Would really appreciate any input

Thanks in advance.

Nope, no way to control the download dialog box

ok i thought that would be the case, and i'm guessing there is no way to by-pass it?
