You ASP code is checking for the file on the server.  I assume by "local workstation" you mean the
one running the browser client.   You can't sniff for client side files from server side code...

Hello,

Help would be muchly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am trying to test for the existence of a file on the local workstation
using VBScript on an asp page.  Below is the code that I am trying to make
functional.

Even though the file "C:\TEMP\npcknet.dll" exists, the message that it
"doesn't exist." is still displayed.  What am I missing.

<%
Dim fso, msg, file_name
 file_name="C:\TEMP\npcknet.dll"
 Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  If (fso.FileExists(file_name)) Then
      msg = file_name & " exists."
  Else
    msg = file_name & " doesn't exist."
  End If

response.write (msg)
%>

workstation" you mean the
from server side code...

Is there any way to get a security message to pop-up to let users know a
script is going to see if a file exists on their local machine, and to get
permission to do so?  An app I am trying to make needs a script to detect
the location of the user's cd-rom drive.  It will only run if IE is set to
low security.
