That seems to do it. on mouseUp answer file "Please select a file..." put it into lFileToRead -- Read the binary contents of a file into a variable open file lFileToRead for binary read read from file lFileToRead until end close file lFileToRead set the uFileStore of me to it end mouseUp
I don't think I need to do the Base64 encoding. You are correct I didn't have any code for encrypting but I know how to do that. Next is how do I open the file saved? I don't really want to write it to disk for security reasons unless I need to. This statement doesn't work. open (URL "binfile:" & uFileStore of button "Save File") Bill Vlahos On Mar 13, 2010, at 11:25 AM, Jeffrey Massung wrote: > lFileToRead is the name of the file, not the data that was read from the > file.
