Hi Stuart

There are a few ways to do this:

<a href="yourfile.xls" target="_blank">LINK TEXT</a>

or

<a href="yourfile.xls" target="newwindow" onClick="window.open ('','newwindow',config='height=500,width=480,scrollbars=yes,screenX=50,screenY=50,top=50,left=50'); return true">LINK TEXT</a>

where you can alter the configuration of the window, or

<a href="javascript:ShowPopUp('yourfile.xls',640,500);">LINK TEXT</a>

which uses the javascript function from Actinic's actiniccore.js file.

without sounding totally stupid, how and where do i put the code? I only want it for the one product

You can copy either one of the three bits of code above and paste it into the Full Description field of your chosen product. You will need to enclose the code within !!< and >!! in order for Actinic to embed it properly.

So, for example:
!!<<a href="yourfile.xls" target="_blank">LINK TEXT</a>>!!
