Thanks for the reply
1) what do you mean by "offline temp folder." if its not on my server (this will eventually be uploaded to a server other then my IIS which i have limited control over) how will i reference it
2) To info geek: Thanks for the tip, how can i make it more secure ?
3) How can I protect my Access database so that it cannot be downloaded by going for example
www.mydomain.com/mydatabase
thanks for all the help
