the code did not appear because I was inside the object tag. Here is the

the files have to be secured somehow so that if someone figures out the path
of the files, they can't download them.
The users currently login to the site and authenticate via a database. If
they login correctly, then I give them links to certain dwf files, based on
whose logged on.
Are there other ways to secure the files, but still be able to access them
using the object tag as I had it above?
Thanks!!!

Thanks for the reply. The web server is accessed over the internet by
anonymous users who don't log to our server using NT Authentication. They are
simply anonymous users. I thought about creating a user account for each user
(on the fly) and find out whose logged on using
Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER"). But then I would have to create user
accounts on the web server, and I would run into licensing issues. (as I did
when I did some tests)
The way I was getting around this was to pass an account, that has access
the the secure folders, in the url like this:
href="http://username">http://username:password@somedomain.com. It worked
great. The problem was that some company's proxy servers rejected that. (not
all)
So, maybe I should phrase my question better. Other than NT authentication,
is there another way that I can secure my dwf files and still have them 1)
Accessible from the HTML page and 2) Not force the user to login?
I appreciate your help and your time,
Danny

last thing. I tried using the ADO Stream object. Basically, the ASP page,
which was outside of the secure foders, would read the dwf file that is in the
secure folder. I spent a whole day trying to get it to work. I finally got it
to work, but the darn thing won't open within the browser itself, even though
I am using an "inline" content-type. The other problem with this is that the
MIME type I had to use was "drawing/x-dwf". Well the MIME type in the registry
for Autodesk Express is "Model/vnd.dwf". It won't work with that..until I
changed it to "drawing/x-dwf". This would mean that each user would have to
change this value in their registry. As you can see I am running out of
options.
Anway, I really do appreciate any help.
Thanks!
D.

I tried doing this:
[param name = "src" value="c:\MyDwf.dwf"]
But it was running client-side. It was looking for the file on the client
machine. If I could get it to look for it on the server itself, that would be
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Let me try a few things with this.
Thanks!
