Hi all. I have a question i'm dealing with, and hoping for any experts like you to help me out a bit. I've asked the same in the html forum, but they advised me to post the question here, so here i go:
I have an html page that opens by autorun on cd.
Being able to make connections to a database on the cd, i would like to copy the database to a windows temp folder every time that that page is opened, so it can iterract with it from the local drive of the user, instead of from the cd.
Problem is that i don't have a clue how to make this happen, also cause i'm dealing with a few questions:
1. if the cd is inserted let's say 2 times , and the temp folder isn't emptied, won't the database if copied won't ask for an overwrite since the file already exists?
2. this idea should have to work on multiple platforms. Is there a temp folder that i can use that is the same for every windows platform?
3. does a user need administrative priviledge for the database to be copied?
I know, alot of questions, but maybe for a true wizard sometimes fairly easy to clearify.
Thanks in advance for your help.
