Hello, I'm not even sure this is possible. But I have thousands of documents stored in different folders on a server. I would like to create a link from a table that will take users to the folder that contains the documents related to the table item clicked. The part I can't figure out is how to create a link to open a folder. Is this possible?

I am using PHP 5 and Apache 1.3 (I Think). ASP has something that might work called FileSystemObject. Does something like this exist in Appache?

Thanks for any input or links to information.

Never mind, I think I came up with a solution using vbs. I will attempt to use vbs to loop through all the directories and store all related file names in a database. Then create a page that will display the files, allowing the user to select the appropriate document.

Thanks for sounding board.
