"Save As" into a SINGLE file...

The heart of my application is a database (MS Jet, SQL, etc.). The
user needs a connection to this database before he/she can do anything
w/ the program. The user will also work with supplimental data that is
not in the database. (it could come from text files, xml, whatever.)

But when the user is done in the application, I want all the work saved
to a SINGLE file. So if the user wants to open it up on a different
computer, only a single file has to be moved and opened.

In general, all (most) applications let you "Save" or "Save As" your
work as a single file. But i'm just stumped on how to do this in my
application.

Any help would be great.
Thanks!
John

I have the following code which executes successfully to call the browsers "save as" box... //Screensavers if ($FileType == 'scr') { // We'll be outputting a screensaver header('Content-type: application/octet-stream'); // It will be called test.scr header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="test.scr"');

I have pages that I want a particular person to download dozens of images. Instead of opening each image separately with right-clicks, I want to be able to have them simply click, and the program will offer to save all the images to a location they specify. Can I do that with JavaScript?

I have a resume in PDF format and I want anyone who LEFT-OR-RIGHT clicks the link to force the file to be saved, and in any event _not_ opened. Since the PDF will be in his cache in any event, I would just as soon place the employer in control of what directory he wishes to save it in, and there are two salient reasons for this: 1. I want him to OWN the document 2. I want him to FIND the document, quickly, on his hard drive In any...

We are a state agency that views protected medical information via our intranet. The screens even have privacy shields.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
