I am a total novice at website building and need to cater for users to
download two zip files from my website, which was created with FrontPage 2003.

I have managed to achieve this with PDF files, but they they open
automatically.

Can anyone assist?

Thanks
 
Just import the .zip files into your current open web, and then link to them, they will not open
automatically, the user will have to open them after they are downloaded to their machine.

Thank you. Your suggestion was in place all along. I have just shut down Zone
Alarm, and I see that the download takes place as it should. I've been trying
to solve this problem all day!
 
Create normal hyperlinks to the zip files.
as in: <a href=http://www.yoursite.com/file1.zip">CLick here to download</a>

and so on.

Do this through Insert menu > Hyperlink.... etc.

When the user clicks the link the download dialogue will prompt them to
'save to local file' or 'open from current location'
