Local copy

Copy a file to a local drive to specified location/name

I am trying to figure out how I create an interface that allows a user to browse their local drive for a jpg file and then have an button action or the like that copies that file to their desktop using a predetermined name.

Thanks in advance,

I think this could only be done with an ActiveX control - all other technologies eg Java are prevented from writing to your local drive for security reasons.

Yep, thats what I keep running into.

2nd best would be the code to open the "file > open window" and they could select the file and save as.

It would take one step out of the process. . . kind of, at least in the mind of the users.

Anyone know the code to mimic the "file > open window" by clicking a button or the likes.

thanks again,

<body>
<a href="c:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\WINDOW~1.LNK">Browse Drive C: using Microsoft Windows OS</a>
</body>
</html>

Then choose "Run this program from it's current location". It will open Windows Explorer in a new window.

Almost forgot...this will work better in a form.
