If you are to view a document in the browser it will be downloaded, you can't get around that.

If you have stored the path to your document in SQL then you can simply use Response.Redirect(pathtofile) and that will allow the user to download the document.

Or, if it is stored in SQL in a binary format you can use the Response object to send it to the client. There are lots of samples online.
