Any help with this appreciated, due very soon,

I need a script to allow users to bring up a file in a CD-ROM subdirectory and prompt the user to save this on their hard disk to any location. The idea is to package word docs, pdf's, excel files with projector in a "data" subdirectory and allow users to look up file desciptions and save the ones they want to their own computer from the CD-ROM.

If possible this should be the case even if the user does not have the application to edit the file eg. MS Word etc.

Thanks alot,

I am using FileXtra3, the button I am using has this script attached to it:

on mouseUp me
fxObj = xtra("FileXtra3").new()
put fxObj.fx_FileSaveAsDialog("@\data", "test.doc", "Save Location", True)
fxObj = 0
end

But I just cannot get the file to write to the destination directory...really stuck on this one - appreciate any help

I've finally worked out a behaviour script that does the trick, crisis averted...

Thanks,
