<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> It would appear that the client
is dreaming. How will they specify button names if the display is supposed
to be dynamic based on the files?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> You could put an HTML page on
the CD that maps to all the files and subdirectories... would that be
sufficient?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> If you want dynamic content
based on the files in a particular directory, I suggest you open Visual Basic,
read up on the FileSystemObject, and make a small executable that does what
you want.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi,<BR> The project I was referring to in my first
email is to be a CD based<BR>system. Basically all this system needs to do is
display a nice front end<BR>with references to folders and the files (pdf
files) in them.<BR><BR>The "nice front end" will have buttons that will have
folder names as the<BR>value on the buttons (or perhaps whatever the user
decides as the name for<BR>the button).<BR><BR>There will be a set folder that
the program will search for the files with<BR>in. Basically the user just
wants to stick the folders (with files in them)<BR>in to this set folder and
"wholla?" the folder names are displayed on these<BR>buttons and when you
click on these buttons all the files in this folder
are<BR>displayed.<BR><BR>The client seems to think it would be nice to have it
as a web based CD<BR>thing. Is this possible or should I leave it to someone
who knows macromedia<BR>director or something
similar.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>Andrew</BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
