I am developing a web site for a friend. She wants her visitors to be able to
download a file when they (right) click on an image. How do I accomplish this
in FrontPage 2003?

Thanks for any help giving!

Right Click will allow the user to download the image. If it
is not the image, you need to make it a hyperlink

All you need to do is insert the link the same as you'd insert any other.
For example,
<a href="download_file_link"><img src="image_link"></a>

Some files will display in the browser, rather than download in the
sense you mean.
These files should either be RIGHT clicked to obtain a download
option, or placed in ZIP files, and the link pointed to the ZIP, which
will always download.
