    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?
    You could put an HTML page on the CD that maps to all the files and subdirectories... would that be sufficient?

    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.

Just my 0.02...

  Hi,
     The project I was referring to in my first email is to be a CD based
  system. Basically all this system needs to do is display a nice front end
  with references to folders and the files (pdf files) in them.

  The "nice front end" will have buttons that will have folder names as the
  value on the buttons (or perhaps whatever the user decides as the name for
  the button).

  There will be a set folder that the program will search for the files with
  in. Basically the user just wants to stick the folders (with files in them)
  in to this set folder and "wholla?" the folder names are displayed on these
  buttons and when you click on these buttons all the files in this folder are
  displayed.

  The client seems to think it would be nice to have it as a web based CD
  thing. Is this possible or should I leave it to someone who knows macromedia
  director or something similar.

  Regards,

  Andrew
