From the File Selection DialogBox that is displayed There are three filetypes that can be selected: (a) All Files (b) Image Files (including PNG) (c) HTML files I have tentatively rejected the Java way because it seems to be less secure for the client. > > -- > Tim Slattery > Slattery_T(a)bls.gov > http://members.cox.net/slatteryt
