Well, the only way to driectly interact with the client's file system from a browser is going to be ActiveX/.Net, or a java applet.
How about sending the file as a file type that opens by default in this guys program though? Just like acrobat will open if you click on a pdf, or winamp opens when an mp3 is clicked. You could even send the file with cfcontent as long as you know the mime type to make it a bit more automatic. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, March 5, 2003, 10:32:20 AM, you wrote: ms> To clairfy, ms> The "data" or file is processed by a custom 3rd party ms> driver for a output device slaved to the client PC. ms> I talked to the dirver developer and he wants a file ms> that he can process with his VB program without ms> getting into http gets (I think the best way to go ms> would be to cffile the data on the server and have his ms> driver fetch it via http but I am looking for ideas). ms> This would fall on the Intranet side of things but I ms> want to keep it as simple and "client proof" as ms> possible. ms> Mike ms> __________________________________________________ ms> Do you Yahoo!? ms> Yahoo!
