-=== Problem ===-
I have a client who is requesting a file be saved to the user’s local machine after finishing a quiz. the file would contain the data gathered from the quiz - as well as pre-formated data in the document.
-=== First solution that comes to mind ===-
Collect and send out of flash using the xml object, and then importing the data into a word document - filling in the blanks, saving it in a temp directory. then redirecting the user to said document - have him download it - delete the word document after.
technologies involved, flash, xml, coldfusion/asp and VBA for word.
-=== Your help ===-
any other ideas would be GREATLY appreciated. how would YOU go about dealing with this request? am i thinking on the correct track? is there a simplier method that you can see?
getting it out of flash isn’t really the issue - more so - i’ve never imported data from a script into a word doc. or done complex file saving.
thanks in advance
