I have set up an ftp web site in IIS and have set up the folders. When
accessing the ftp files from internet explorer I get a choice of opening or
saving the file. How do I make it so it will only allow the file to be saved

IE will auto open the file, if the MIME type is configured at client side.
Try this -
Not Prompted to Specify Download Folder for File

The files they are downloading are exel and Word docs. I want to only allow
them to download the file to the desktop and not allow them to open it first.
When they open it first I get error messages that it cannot access the file
or it is open by another program. I just want them to be able to download it
to a folder on their pc.

Again, that's a *client* configuration. Drive over to their house,
push them aside and change the client settings. Or send them a ZIP
file. Or at least give them appropriate directions.
