I guess you mean javascript? Look if the folders you want to browse through are on the client side, you'll have a problem, since the browser is not allowed to do things like folder browsing etc (think of the security issues that would rise with such a feature). So then indeed you need to use Java to make a small applet that would browse folders on the harddrive. I'm not a Java expert, so I don't really know. If we talk about folders on the server, then you indeed have to loop on the serverside through all the folder and print them to the client in HTML.

Go to WROX.com's website. There is a book called "Instant results with ASP.NET 2.0" that book contains a sample Photo Album among other examples. They are ALL written in ASP.NET 2.0(VB.NET) Good luck!

thanks alot for the help, Can you kindly give an idea how to write to xml file, and if I am writing with HTML, do I have to write the details too as I am using in one computer ms office 2000 and other computer 2003. Sorry for my ignorance I really don't have any idea about it, if you can give me an idea I can learn more about it and will just use it accordingly. Thanking you again

I found it, I should have not saved my database is IIS FOLDER ie. inetpub directory, rather kept my database in the other folder with a sharing permission. Thanks again Hope my mistake might help others

You never said if this was a Windows Forms app or a Web app, so, the best suggestion is to go over this[^] Google result set and see what fits your situation. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

thanks for that suggestion, it helped to know more about printing. But it doesnot say anything about how to use no of pages selection (ie. FROM PAGE, TO PAGE) . I have enabled the print dialog and also the selection but was not able to print the specified pages even if i told to print (EXAMPLE FROM PAGE 1 : TO 2 PAGE), instead its prints all. Thanks again
