I've searched and searched and can't find a solution. I'm very new to web programming, and just doing this to help my company.
I used x6 to build an internal webpage that displays metrics and kpi's on a dashboard. I have a report running and downloading every 15 minutes.
Currently, users go to my page, click on an icon, and the excel file opens in the browser.
The problem with this approach is that there are several different users accessing the file and there's an error created in my macro if the report tries to refresh while someone has the file open.
What I would like - When the user clicks on the icon, a pop or something appears forcing them to download the page to their computer. That way the original file is never in use by any one user.
I've seen some stuff on the web about having a php file in the folder with the file that forces the download, but I've not been able to get it to work.
Here's a link to that example:

Ideas on how to do this? Appreciate the help.
