Download FileName and Path
Hi all
I've tried everywhere for this - so here goes...
I have a program that reads in a text file, that a user can download off the internet.
All I want to return is the filename and path the user puts into the SAVE AS dialoge box when asked to save the file.
Is this possible??

The filename will show up, but only if they choose to save and not open from current location. You have no control over where the file is saved to.

Thanks monte96
Do you have any code sample on how to pull out the FileName and Path variable from the SAVE AS box?

I don't think there is a way to do it over the web for obvious security reasons.

OK
I've re-read my first post and maybe I haven't made myself completely clear
I have a STAND-ALONE Program that has an ASCII text file Wizard in it. Most users will connect to the Internet to download a copy of there data - and I'm wanting to put a button that will attach to the web for them - they open their page providing password etc and from the data shown, can download a copy in text format. I'm wanting to capture the string content of the SAVE AS dialoge from my program - I can start something off when they click this button to jump on-line - like check for a window or something...
Would like sample code on this... Anyone...
