ASP is a server side programming language, therefore everything is processed on the server that its coming from. I'm pretty sure that ASP is not capable of reading files from the user unless their send along with the request. ------------- Paul A Morgan http://www.pmorganphoto.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.pmorganphoto.com/ |

Why do you want this....? Even if this is done by anyway.. it is a must that this Font be installed to the system, so if the user used a font not installed on the web page visitor system, it will not be displayed correctly.... |

you need a WYSIWYG form.. it is EXACTLY like MSWord, being able to draw tables and inserting cells and doing all the staff... No one can tell it is not MSWord. |
