To ask the download location (with SaveAs dialog - yes in web edition) Save the file on client. All these in Web Edition.

Pseudo code. yourWebFile = WebFile.Open(f) '<--Folderitem to your textfile. yourWebFile.MIMEtype = "text/plain" yourWebFile.ForceDownload = True ShowURL YourWebFile.URL Remember to put "yourWebFile" in the Session or it might die too soon. Where the file will be saved on the clients computer depends on their browser settings _________________ http://www.linkedin.com/in/albinkiland Dev. iMac 27" + 2x22" LG (2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 12GB RAM, 120GB SSD) OS X 10.8 REAL.Studio Web Edition 2011r3 Top shahiddarbar Post subject: Re: create file and download - Web EditionPosted: Wed Apr 24, 2013 9:50 am Joined: Wed Nov 17, 2010 10:49 am Posts: 38 can we get a saveas dialog so they can select where to save? also, there is no physical file on server, the new file has to be created on fly is this possible?

It's all in the control of "the client". Personally I've set my browser to automatically download all downloadable files into a predefined directory so I never see the SaveAs Dialog. This setting can't be forced _________________ http://www.linkedin.com/in/albinkiland Dev. iMac 27" + 2x22" LG (2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 12GB RAM, 120GB SSD) OS X 10.8 REAL.Studio Web Edition 2011r3 Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 5 posts ]
