It would appear that the client is dreaming. How will they specify =
button names if the display is supposed to be dynamic based on the =
files?
You could put an HTML page on the CD that maps to all the files and =
subdirectories... would that be sufficient?
If you want dynamic content based on the files in a particular =
directory, I suggest you open Visual Basic, read up on the =
FileSystemObject, and make a small executable that does what you want.
Just my 0.02...

Hi,
The project I was referring to in my first email is to be a CD =
based
system. Basically all this system needs to do is display a nice front =
end
with references to folders and the files (pdf files) in them.
The "nice front end" will have buttons that will have folder names as =
the
value on the buttons (or perhaps whatever the user decides as the name =
for
the button).
There will be a set folder that the program will search for the files =
with
in. Basically the user just wants to stick the folders (with files in =
them)
in to this set folder and "wholla?" the folder names are displayed on =
these
buttons and when you click on these buttons all the files in this =
folder are
displayed.
The client seems to think it would be nice to have it as a web based =
CD
thing. Is this possible or should I leave it to someone who knows =
macromedia
director or something similar.
Regards,
Andrew
