    Hi all. I need to create an XML file on our client's PC, which is a dump of some data he requested from the db. How can I do that? The problem I'm facing is that all file activity is being carried out on the server, not on the local machine. Regards, Mark

      By default and as per HTML Laws, you cannot write into the client machine's hard disk. But there are several ActiveX controls available which will let you do whatever you want on client machine. The problem is, depending on the security settings in the client browser, ActiveX components may not be allowed to run. Usually, if you try to execute an ActiveX control, the browser will show a warning message to the user and ask his permission to run. :zzz:----------------------------------------------------------------------:(( T Manjaly

        Hi Manjaly. Can you direct me to these ActiveX controls please? The application will be run on a single PC on our intranet, so, security will not be an issue. Regards, Mark
