Hi Richard,
I completely agree with your point. I am sorry, I have not thought in
these lines. Actually the requirement was, out of some files, if client selects some
of files and press download, they should come to his hard drive so that he can cut a
cd with these files.
Thanks for updating me in such a important issue.
