Default Have FP2000 Need help to get hover button to cause download to start


I have FP2000. I tried to use a Hover Button as a link to a .pdf. To
do this I have been putting the name of the .pdf file in the "Link To"
field in the Hover Button properties. When I test the page by running
it on my PC it works great. I click on the Hover Button and my adobe
acrobat reader starts up and loads the file. If I put an .exe file
name in the "Link To" field and test the page, the down load box pops
up, just like I would expect. However when I publish the page and test
it from the web I get a "Page can not be found" error. The address
line on that page shows the URL and the proper file name. i.e.
http://www.suncoastmartialarts.com/coupons.pdf. Any ideas on how to
make this work would be greatly appreciated. I have thought of
creating a special .html page that would automatically start the down
load, but my HTML programming skills are almost non-existent and I
don't know the code for creating a page that will automatically start
a download etc.

Thanks for any help that anyone can offer.
