Are you in a position where the ie clients have activex enabled and will trust the site, and what kind of file are you creating?
CF has no ability to interact with the client file system, but you could use some client side jscript/vbscript and the System.FileSyetemObject, or something like SoftArtisans XFile control which has this capability. Just as a warning, in the past their controls have been scriptable only with vbscript. I'm not a vbscript master (oxymoron? <g>) but I had no trouble with it. http://fileup.softartisans.com/default.aspx?PageID=122 -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, March 5, 2003, 9:42:00 AM, you wrote: ms> Greetings, ms> I have a job where I need to create a file on a client ms> PC and populate it with data pulled off an sql server. ms> How can I create a file on a client PC? ms> How shoud I go about this in a CF / IE environment? ms> Thanks ms> Mike ms> __________________________________________________ ms> Do you Yahoo!? ms> Yahoo!
