Hi,
When user opens a downloaded file, It should allways hit the server and get the latest file from the server. File what ever we downloaded from server should not open if the file not present in server of the client machine does not have internet explorer.

Please suggest me on this and how can i proceed further.

Thanks in advance,
srikanth

hi senguptaamlan,
file get downloaded in to my system. When I opens the file from my client system, it should contact the server and should get the latest file from server. If the server is down or my internet is down, then my file should not get open. Please provide some inputs.

I guess the information people are looking for is
What you are trying to do ?
What is the error/exception you are getting ?
It would be good if you provide what type of file you are downloading

Based on what little you have provided, it sounds like you are writing code that is equivalent to what viruses do. You would have to 'hook' into the operating system to know when someone is opening a file, verify it is the type of file you want, then do your thing on the web server. This, IMHO, is a bad idea!
