Peter, it is using our company intranet, web-base page that pulls data
from database once the user enters a job number.
They can then fill in other fields and I give them a button to print &
save this page(all behind the scenes).  I want to create the file
location in code so the user can not mess it up. This would be save on
a shared directory for later reference.  This has to be the page on
the user screen not the page on the server.

Hope this is more information and thanks in advance.
