>Like you, I doubt there is a way to create a file to the client machine. I know it is possible with JAVA using a signed application, but that is another story. I always pictured ASP for displaying uses only. After all, the user only see the resulting HTML(or whatever other format) and have no clue of what is happeing behind the curtain.

Hi David;

You definitely cannot create files on the client machine using ASP.
Of course Java allows it (trought ActiveX and such) but always asking for it.
