ok...so just to rest your paranoid mind, I work for a rather large insurance
broker. We have over 200 agents that use a product called FSC. FSC is a
rater for auto/home insurance. The product creates a temporary file that you
can pass to other applications for things like loading the data into other
systems like a agency management system. Our users barely know how to use
email & to ask them to go find a temporary file that is located in the Temp
directory under the Windows directory is just crazy. Which is why FSC has
built the functionality to pass the file to another application. Actually...
many applications do this... not just FSC. And maybe to your surprise they
aren't stealing bank accounts the users are actually initiating the process
and this is all controlled within the same network which is why on one of my
first messages I wrote that we control the desktop... i can set the
permissions... but I certainlyl don't want to set the permissions to allow
anyone access to the machine.
We are not the only Insurance broker who needs this type of functionality.. .
just about every Insurance Broker & Company needs this functionality because
our users just aren't that savy with the computer. It's much better to limit
our users so they can't make mistakes. Of course we could right a local and
instlal it to every machine...but then we will have the support costs
associated with installing the application on every desktop & then why in the
world do we have an intranet which was supposed to minimize those support
costs by producing applications that didn't need to be installed & could be
updated in 1 location.
I am quite surprised at my response here...I have had fairly good luck using
these message boards in the past... I have never been accused of stealing
bank accounts and if anyone from Microsoft wishes to find me they certainly
can with my registered version of MSDN. I have found work arounds to
this...but they certainly didn't come from this board. Only accusations of
stealing bank accounts & how it can't be done the way I initially ask.
Just fyi.... some people... i would guess most people out here are actually
here because they need help either in there process or code not because they
want to steal something. So being Mr. Police man just wastes peoples time
out here. If you don't know the solution...then don't respond. If you are
the Microsoft Message Board Police...then look up my account & give me a call
before accusing me publicly of stealing bank accounts.

and i have seen that many other people want to do the

the
wall.
You are right, however when there was only one, who succeeded in that, than
all Browser builders have again a big job to do. Stealing bankaccounts is
something that a lot of people want to do.
By the way, people asking this kind of questions are placing themselves in a
kind of suspected area whatever they say that the reason is.
Just my thought,
