I'm working with someone else's HTML/ASP code that downloads some Active X controls when initially accesing the portal. Before the download occurs, the Security Warning dialog box appears asking the user if they want to install the download. Is there any way within the code to determine if the user says 'No' to the download? We'd like to set a flag in the DB for users that have not accepted a download. Thanks.

That security check is generated by their browser's security settings. Since it is a browser-based event, there is no way for ASP to detect the event firing or that they have said no.
The only workaround I can think of, is put some code inside your OBJECT tag. Normally I believe that if a user doesn't have the correct object, the code inside the OBJECT tag displays (not counting the <PARAM> tags). I am not certain about this though. It may be possible to redirect the user to a page that sets a flag in the database using code inside the object tag. Maybe not though. Harold Blackorby
