Are you saying that basically there are going to be a bunch of files in a folder somewhere and you don't know what those files are and you just want to provide a list of the files on a page somewhere? Do you have any security considerations? ie. do you care if some one gives a link to the file to someone else and they can download it without logging in etc? If you have no security considerations to take into account they you could do a simple CFDirectory of the folder and output the result to a webpage with links to the files it finds. This requires that the files are in a folder that is directly accessible via the webserver. If you have security considerations then you are going to need to look at storing the files outside of the webserver root with no directory mapping, scanning the directory for files using CFFile and providing links to the files via CFContent, controlled by some form of user login application. Hope that gives you something to think about. Regards Stephen ________________________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
