Just one comment - can we say "Hacking"? Imagine if you put something like that on a standard web page, you could get a file from a person's machine, update it and then re-write it... Oooh, the Virus posibilities... As long as the clients don't mind you messing with their hard disks, you might be able to do something in an ActiveX control, or a Java applet, but you're opening up a whole can of worms, as if their machine messes up, they're bound to blame you Philip Arnold Technical Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited Switchboard: +44 (0)20 8680 8099 Fax: +44 (0)20 8686 7911 www.aspmedia.co.uk www.aspevents.net An ISO9001 registered company. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
