Hi

I have an ASP and partial Javascript file manager. It finds files in many locations. When you find a file via the web GUI you can open up a folder in a local mapped drive, so users with the right NTFS perms can save changes.

Problem is when they open a file and save as (in say a word document, opening in IE) they get :

Save In : My Documents (normally set by registry)
File Name : Document in Microsoft Internet Explorer

End users will be using this!!!!!!!! In my experience 30% will just click save and then phone me up asking why the origianl document has not been saved!

Can i write to the file name / save in locations with javascript, or is this gona require something a bit heavier. What are my options?

If this helps; when you do CTRL+S (Keyboard Save) the save locations change to the the correct place the open file is stored in. (can keystrokes be emulated with javascript?)

Thanx

Dave :)
