How do I create an external link?

On my web site I would like to create an external link to a form that is saved on my desktop. I would like my clients to have the ability to print off this form.

I would appriciate it if someone could tell me how to do this. Thanks!

@KDLAMay 30.2007 — They're not going to be able to access your desktop. You'll need to post the form to your web server, then provide a link to it: http://www.mydomainname.com/files/form.htm

Assuming your clients have Acrobat reader installed (most will - but always good manners to provide a link to the free download) then they will be able to print off the form direct - assuming you have saved it in PDF format - into the root directory of your server. Of course, a page with suitable CSS for printing will allow printing without the use of the PDF format. For example, [url=http://www.castlehillclub.com/menu/index.php]this page[/url] (albeit not a form) will print a neat version of the page onto A4 paper.

Success!
