I would recommending using ftp to do the download, also. You can create a batch file on the fly with vfp, then use shellexecute to run it in the background.

If your clients are private individuals with email accounts on "general" ISP's you *will* have problems emailing them files, some of those problems will be insurmountable. Make some "registered customer" pages on your website that they have to log in to to get access. Give 'em something useful in there and you're even adding value! Check with a database that they've paid when they request the download. Don't download the file to them if they haven't. Make a record in the database of what they downloaded and when. With not too much fiddling you can probably send data between your desktop database (& apps) and the web based one... Mark Stanton One small step for mankind...
