Temporary Internet Folders

[hansw]

Can anybody point me in the right direction.

I am trying to access a file on the client, directly from the Temorary Internet folder, where the file (pdf) is created while browsing.

Under normal circumstances the client would probably just save the file to a local location and all would be fine. However in this instance, the file must be saved automaticaly (client side).

My problem is that, even though I know what the file is called in the temporary folder, at run time, I try copy it and get a File not Found.

If I look in the temporary folder I can see it there.

Using standard VB6, how do I access it?

Use FileSystemObject to find and copy file.

Thanks for the input but

FileSystemObject.fileExists(C:\Documents and Settings\Hansw\Local Settings\Temporary Internet FilesAppRoutine?order+12023.pdf)

returns false

even though I find

AppRoutine?order+12023.pdf in C:\Documents and Settings\Hansw\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

This is why I need to no more about what happens to files being created in this folder. (By some or other Java application.)

Have you got this in the right category? If you are referring to the file system object in ASP then you only have access to the file system on the server that is running the ASP script and not on the client.

Like DJ4UK said, the reason probably you cant find the file is that your asp script is looking at the server rather then the client machine.

Also i wanna mention that the folder "Temporary Internet Folder" is not a normal folder, it is a system folder and consists of other system folders. Take a look at the print screen to see what i mean.


Hope this helps.
