Submit and Download file

[MadBnz]

Hello, I want to be able to have the user click on a Submit button and download a file with one click. The form contains the Current Time and UserID and the file is based upon a passed variable AN. There are 2 buttons basically an Accept

<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Accept&quot; name=&quot;submit&quot; onClick=&quot;file://E:/ads/<%= Request(&quot;AN&quot %>&quot;>


and Decline

<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Decline&quot; name=&quot;Back&quot; onClick=&quot;history.go(-1)&quot;>


The Decline works, but the acecept will not... Any Ideas?

because when u give paths within javascript coding it takes the client system path and not PATH OF THE SERVER. therefore it will search if the file exists in the clients &quot;E:\.....&quot;.

therefore it wont work. on the submit button submit it to a page where a forced download can be given...

The Files do exist on the clients E:\ which is a networked drive on another server. - the problem is that the submit does not open the file on the client end.

well i havent finished yet. if it doesnt open atleast an error dign will apper(near the Done in the status bar). it might say &quot;access denied&quot; error. this is a security issue. IE does not allow javascript that can open files in the client end...
