get File from "C:\"

Hi@all

i use the Function
[code]
set oShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")

set oFolder = oShell.BrowseForFolder(0, "File load", 16384,rootdir)

on a HTML Page
and if i try to get a file from "c:\" or "d:\" (no subfolders), i get a

Find: "' Now handle any errors. I have defined one special case; ' (1) The
selected folder is a drive."

It would help if you tell us the error. Also, what do you mean by
"get a file"? Do you want to open the file? Download it? Use it in
another program?

Since it's a web page, a shell is problematic. You may find the File
System Object in ASP is more suited to your task.

If this script is client-side (in script tags on the html page) - then it
won't be able to open a file.
The browser that allows this will be immediately taken out back and
thrashed.
