Roland, Sorry I got sidetracked for a few days. Sounds like a good suggestion. I went ahead and wrote the file to the web server and created a link to the file with the following code:
Click <a href="<@var <@var user$U_Site>$SecureAppRootUrl><@var catsite$CGI><@var catsite$RootPath>POS/upload.txt">upload.txt</a> to download this file. I was hoping that the standard window's ftp window would popup asking if I wanted to open, save, or cancel with the option to browse where I wanted to download the file to. But all it did was give me a blank screen. I would like the window to popup. Allow the user to download the file. And then return to the original window. As you can guess, I haven't tried this before. Can you or anyone else steer me in the right direction?

Only problem with that is that you don't know if the transfer was successful, so could you flag the records as having been exported?
