Hi,

I am designing an application to run on my PC and it relies on the =
Internet Explorer browser to do the navigation. And this application is =
a stand alone application with lots of HTMLs but no connection to the =
Internet (strictly local). I have looked at Java application and Java =
applet and found that applet is what I need. I like to invoke Java =
appplet from my HTMLs. Hence, I wrote a little applet to write some data =
out to c:\home\order1.txt. It worked wonderfully under Visual Cafe IDE. =
But when I tested it undre Internet Explorer, I received the following =
error message in the Java console.

com.ms.security.SecurityExceptionEx[order.button1_Mouseclicked]: cannot =
access file order1.txt

How do I bypass the security check since this is strictly for local use. =
I have tried changing the security options in Internet Explorer but to =
no avail.

If you can shed some lights, it will be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Jason.
